    I like this – I think it speaks to me and tells me I need to add another anecdotal-style chapter in my Cluesford novel. Race Day, perhaps. I hope you don’t mind.

    PS: I think she must be Estella. She looks like Estella would have after a haircut! Sorry, probably not making sense. She is my heroine’s mother.

    Nice work on Diane here Whirli, like how you’ve brought her into prominence and reduced others to the background. lovely background colors, very nice!!!

    Anne, I’m pleased this image speaks to you in that way! I certainly don’t mind.

    And thank you, huge, for your comments which as usual are very encouraging.

    Hi Whirli, this is really wonderful love the colours and the feel , it will probably sound strange but I keep thinking of it as a modern Renoir. Just something about the impression it leaves..great work, don’t know how you do this but it’s special:)

    Shanina, what a lovely comment – I’m delighted you see it in the light of a modern Renoir! Thank you.

    Hi Sabine. Thanks for your lovely feedback on this image…... Who knows what will develop next with this theme…..but it’s exciting none-the-less. It’s like holding a brand new baby in my arms without knowing how the adult version will turn out!

    More like a Paul Gauguin I would have thought!!!
    This is super special Whirli, you must be very pleased with it.
    Cheers

    Now that’s a compliment if ever there was one, Ronald! Paul Gauguin, phew! Thanks ever so much. This image went through an extremely difficult birth, I might add, but I am pleased with the end result.
