chasingsooz
Absolutely Stunning! Your use of red against the blue really makes the colours move. Also love the composition and the way her left shoe touches the edge of the canvas. Really well done.
Virginia McGowan replied
thansk so much sooz this is in a frame fixed tight ! so I had to crop a bit, there is a bit more shoe in the original painting still just touches the edge though.
Estelle O'Brien
It is stunning Gini…really different. The composition and the curvey figure…love the colours in the skin tones.
