    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.

    Really like this, fantastic composition and colour. Get the feel that she wants to be outside on that wonderful beach. What a place to live!
