Kim,

I never know how you are going to surprise us when I click on a new painting of yours. This is really serious stuff--amazingly good technically and as a composition and as a powerful image. Again, there is the interplay of title and image that raises more questions than it answers. There's a mystery in the creation of this that goes beyond the sum of the parts. Self-portrait, obviously. It is just plain wonderful!

Alex

Kim,

You are unabashedly good! I love this one of yours - I love the red theme, how it frames the figure so well, and the balance of cool tones in the figure - the perfect compliment to the bold use of reds...outstanding!

David

Makes me want to come up with a Rett Butler quote, but I can't think of any right now. Someone help me...

This is beautiful and tells a delicious story - very cool!

This is so hot! This is one portrait that has nothing wrong with the mouth. Great job, Kim. I have one question, how do you hold that pose and paint at the same time????

Jean
