Blue satin sashes

[Christy Talbott]

Alexandra,

Thank you so much for your comments! The verticals in my painting need some slight touching up in a couple places, but they are not leaning to the left in reality like they are in the photo. I must've tilted the canvas or something taking the photo, although a couple verticals on the right seem fine on the pic.

I'm working on the walk.. I'm going to lessen the intensity of the green as it recedes, like you suggest as well. I think that will make a nice improvement. In the photo it appears a fairly flat intense green evenly across the picture. I wonder if I had taken the time to notice while snapping the photos if it would've appeared that way, or if it is a case where the photo doesn't pick up on the nuances...

I'll post some photos in a bit.

The canvas is tilted a little on the easel. Here's a link to a closeup:

I'm having a difficult time getting a good photo. The contrast in the photo is higher than in the painting. The house doesn't appear quite that dark in the painting and the dresses aren't quite that bright.

I think they will be quite pleased with this. Sure, you can spend more time with this nudge this and nudge that but why. I do agree with what Alex mentioned in regard to the verticals. The verticals are a must!! There cannot be even a hint of slant unless the house is built at a slant and that is not likely.

A job well done and All the best to you.

Thank you Mischa! I'm happy you think I did well. And thank you too for your help.

I can never resist fiddling with them though as long as they are in my house! If it changes much before I deliver it, I'll probably post yet another photo.
