MY COMMENTS:
had a lot of paint left over from class last night so when i got home i knifed this

MY QUESTIONS FOR THE GROUP:
i see the red reflection is too strong, will fix that ... it's knifed so will be workable at least all day today ... all thoughts welcomed

thanks

La. you have the imagination I would die for!!! but at my age will probably die without. Your painterly skill and your ???mind have made my day THANK YOU love this painting.
perhaps the red reflection needs a bit less red, glad you agree

[Debzy]

Absolutely delightful La! Knifing is something you should do more of..... with paint of course! lol =))

Dang girl this is great. Agree about the red reflection but other than that excellent.

Love it - the brightness and shimmering are just so refreshing. Arnie

LA, .. .hmm .... this is marvelous!! Please, don't tone down the red reflection. Even more, I would make the reflection in the 3 figures on the left a bit more pronounced and vibrant as well. This makes the entire picture so much more shiny and vibrant! ..

My amateur two cents

[birdhs]

So good to see work from you again.

In agreement with all, uncertain about the red, you are the artist, 'tis your call.

Just the kind of painting I would buy if I had the cash

Thanx 4 posting, this pleaseth our eye, Greg

LA, this is just great. I think the reflections are good too.

thanks guys, you're so supportive!

i did wiggle a bit more white into the red reflection - i fear leaving it so strong pulls they eyes down and holds them a bit too much, distracts from the misty air feel.

knife work is fun and having big globs of paint to use up gives freedom to slather it around without worrying about wasting it - it's out of the tube already and ya can't put it back in, so ....
it's almost too quick tho, over too soon, to play around too much makes dull, muddy color, this took about two hours and i had to leave it for fear of overworking it. course by then it was midnight and likely a wise time to pack it up anyway, lol.

thanks again for your eyes and thoughts

very nice feeling... the red reflection is a little bit red. maybe tone it down?
I got caught up painting last night and next thing I knew it was way past my bed time... party time

[Debzy]

Rather than dull the reflection, perhaps redden the dress a little more! I love it as it is, the reflection is no problem for me, she is the highlight, perhaps the main figure of interest and the reflection just adds to her importance. It is not a photo, it is a painting and you can do anything if you are clever, you are very clever and this reflection works!!!!!!!!! Besides, reflections in water a supposed to be a little darker!!! I love it very much. Great work. =))

Oooooooo! Love this and I almost missed it! The beautiful wetness you've created is scrumptious. And the figures? Love them. I'd hang this in a NY minute!

16 x 20 is a lot of juicy paint! Love this, so, so much. Don't change a thing.
