    Janis Zroback

    ...I had to bring her down here so I could see her while commenting.

  • Janis Zroback

    Janis Zroback

    As I have said before your work is chock a block with wit and wisdom and not many of us are able to imbue our art with these qualities….she is the 1920s, and she is now….she has no worries except whether she should take that plunge as she knows that she looks wonderful in her new striped bathing suit that accentuates her figure so well….her hair is done…dare she get it or the new suit wet? Wonderful Karin….

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    haha!! oh – i love that this inspires a story to bounce right out back at me from you Janis!! how cool is that :D thank u!!

    yep, what will happen to her pretty brown curtained hair (just as i once wore mine as a child)...without the kiss curls tho (well only for ballet concerts if you must know :D)...if she dives in, all that composure will be lost, but the refreshment must be worth it…the water looks so inviting, and you can feel the heat coming off the cement… :D

  • Shanina Conway

    Shanina Conway

    lol! She’s amazing…love her bathing suit;)

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    thank you so much Shanina :D

  • Arletta

    Arletta

    There is one thing that mars the enjoyment of this for me, which is that the ‘x’-eyed look is traditionally used to denote death.

    Otherwise, this is adorable!

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    thank you Arletta, yes, someone else has said that to me, but honestly….
    i drew this never knowing about such a thing, until my attention was drawn to it…so it was never meant to denote death..only cuteness and sweetness, it was done before i ever learnt how to draw eyes :D
    thank you so much :D
