This is a little different. I like the relaxed look, but I think my favorite is the red. Good job. Again.

A wonderful moment of pause and relaxation. her posture is very restful She is a lovely woman, and the red background colors are excellent to balance and blend the element in the work. A pleasure always to view your fine work! Very nice work.

I like the emotion I see here, whether defeat or finding courage. Great color, contrast, detail and true artistic talent.

Wonderful eye catching. Like the texture and the depth that it creates. Like the detail the softness of the red. Brings out the soft flow of her hair. Thank you for creating and sharing this great piece of art.

James, I spotted the palette knife work right off, and it looks really, really good. Very effective. I like the composition with the young lady leaning against a stone wall, with the red behind her. Presents very well, my friend. Lynnieellie
