soooo beautiful, wonderful pose, detail, curves and lines…beautiful impression of a beautiful figure xxx

Hi Lynda, I’d call it finished. I love the way the material just bleeds off and the highlights on her botty. But you’re right, you could fuss around with this for ever as there is so much detail I know only you could add, but this is beautiful as it is.

Looks great. I know you got the flesh tone right on the money.

I think it is beautiful, stunning really!! The only thing for me is the tip of the thumb needs a bit more definition for symmetry with the others. ( and yes I know that’s a bit picky but I overfocus:) Other than that perfection!! I think your nudes are so well done

I agree with Paul Lynda…I would leave it as is.Just beautiful and just enough detail!

wow what a sexy pastel Lynda….I would say she is finished!! what more could you add to such a beautiful pastel painting….perfect!

haha love your work Mrs Robinson.

Don’t touch it anymore !!! just perfect to me like that Lynda..BEAUUUUUTIFUL pose and light. Super great work ! Love it

Well in my humble opinion I think it is beautiful and doesn’t need anything else doing to it . Gorgeous work.

Wonderful work, so complete! Great lighting!

i think it looks finished lynda, listen to your little voice…. its really a great piece xx

Superb just as it is, I love the pink filmy satin.

Knowing you Lynda, you can even improve on perfection. (That’s a ten dollar compliment). You’ve got the female form and silk at it’s best I reckon so no need for further work. It’s not fair for one artist, delightful as she is, to have all that talent, but then we’d miss the pleasure of seeing such wonderful paintings. Another ten dollars!

Stunning work, Linda. I wouldn’t change a thing. Agnes xx

Beautifullly done Lynda !!

I see absolutely NOTHING wrong with this!!! You’ve out done yourself once again!!!!

Perfect as it is Lynda!

Beautiful work Lynda. I’d say done, in my professional opinion (cough! cough!). No, seriously, It’s a beautiful work.

You cannot improve on perfection Lynda ,This is absolutely stunning !!
the musculature is spot on and the skin tone is perfect, it needs nothing more done !
Anyone looking at this will immediately know, It’s a Lynda Robinson masterpiece
ps, I’m cheaper than Brian !

Ok, done on this side. Roll her over and show us how complex those angles get on the other side. Hah! You color choices for the skin tones are “righteous”!

Well done, this is perfect.

It’s beautiful Lynda, and I reckon it’s finished. It looks great!
Sometimes less is more :)

Lynda your touch is exquisite! The softness of her skin is palpable, it is like that of a peach…. The tones are wonderful and full of reality, she looks like she’s going to move at any minute. I love the folds in the silk (if it isn’t silk, you’ve made it luxurious looking) and all the colours work really well together. To me it is very much finished and so incredibly inspiring!

Stunning piece of work, Lynda. I am in awe of the luscious skin tones. Love the pose and the wonderfully rendered cloth. A masterpiece to be sure.

Firstly id like to say how beautiful a job youve done with this. I always pick up on the first thing that hits my eye, the overall figure, no problems as everyone has commented its as finished as it needs to be. But my eye picked up the left hand bleed line from the back of the hand travelling in a straight line downwards like it was cut out almost, that might not be a problem for most people. For me id have to vary it a bit so the hand doesnt look disconnected. Hope that sounds ok lynda

Excellent work Lynda ! You are a master !

It looks great the way it is!
Beautiful representation of the female form!

..found out only now … and you already have your answer many times over …
beautiful Lynda ..I love the strong triad of light blue, purplish and skin …. each in a great luster …

This certainly looks finished to me Lynda. Apart from the obvious charms of the lady, I have to say I am impressed by your representation of drapery. Only really good artists can paint draperty and make it look like drapery, which proves what I have always believed – that you are a really good artist Lynda.

That was a genuine compliment but I suppose there would still be no harm in me asking for a $9 fee. You’ll notice I am undercutting my friend Brian Towers by $1 :)

Stunning work, beautifully presented.

pretty good

beautiful!

wow, fantasti. well done!!

Stunning work Linda, but I have to agree with Mariart
The left hand does look a little disconnected, but a very minor point.
My eye is drawn to the other end of the canvas. the curves and skin tone are wonderful as is the way the material drapes is superb.

Yes finished… beautifully finished.

Yes! Tie your hands behind your back, Linda (not easy)!

This is perfectly painted the way it is.
Wonderful colours, tones in folds of cloth, pose and skin tones – all are sublime!

oops…Lynda, I got the name wrong for the first time (just like Myke/Mike, above)...lower lip wobbles…

....small sorry voice…

Simply Gorgeous Lynda! I would say that you have finished this one , therfe is such a thing as flogging a dead horse and itr will not go anywhere!

km.

I agree with the others, this is lovely and in my eyes finished..

It’s marvelous as is!!!! You have the midas touch Linda! Looks like she can just get up and walk away.!

It’s good Lynda.

very nice work

I’m probably too late, haha, but I think it’s finished, too – I really like the contrast between the ever so smooth and silky skin and the drapery trailing off into roughness at the bottom. Funny enough I had a thing about the hand, too, but there was so much else perfect to look at that it only crept up again reading others’ comments ;-) Good work, it’s beautiful!

oh nice one!! Great to hear :-))

awesome work.love the skin tones and the silk drape.I would be pleased to do somthing that good,so i would say it is finished.sorry for the delay…..good luck with the gallery(hope you sell it).

the pose and color of fabric is very alluring,feminine,and beautiful.I would like to see more a little more work with the shadows and lights.Only you,yourself know how far you want to take it.so far beautiful work.:)

stunning work…........ I think she is just gorgeous…...love the pose and colour you have used ….........so very lovely.

very tasteful and so well painted!

really beautiful

gorgeous!

just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Lynda, Just wanted to congratulate you on your Top Ten place in the Nude on Paper challenge in the Works on Paper group with this wonderful painting! Well done my friend!

congrats for second winner Lynda!!!!!!!

This work is great,and you can say it’s finished,there are no rules. I love it!

oh this is just really beautiful…heavenly. I love the fabric, so light, and the colors are beautiful.

Hey Lynda,
I Love to paint cloth, and I sometimes I am actually pleased with my cloth!

This is coming from someone whom is humbled by your art . . . me!

Since you asked and it sounds like you want feedback on this piece of work, here’s a thought:
I think there may be a reason you are questioning if it needs more work.
The cloth on the woman flows down beautifully, however, I think the rest of the cloth that flows at the edge of the table and on down until it fades out (love the fading, by the way) might be what your uncertainty is. Just a tiny bit more smooth folds that flow down from the table would add a bit more of a striking element to the painting.
But please, ignore my comment if it doesn’t fit for you—you are the amazing creator and I just thought I would jot down a thought I had, in case you might like my thought. :)
Wish you much joyful painting,
Samariah
