The off-center placement of the model is terrific.
The umbrella draws your attention in to her smile.
A lovely mood captured by a very gifted artist.

Hard to believe this is pastel.
Such a sumptuous piece.
Has a bit of a Wyeth feel to me.
You are so gifted.

What a beautiful delicacy for eyes… Brown background, red nimbus of umbrella, almost white color of model and small drop of blue on her neck… Wonderful!
