One day in the future, they will get out your paintings as historical fact finding courses, your clothes, your styles will be the statement of the day. Beautiful, carefully crafted paintings as always. Colours scheme on this one is amazing, using the heraldic method on parasols and wraps adding patterning on one costume.. fantastic

This is a true definition of a seasonal artwork.
Your umbrella work is so wonderful, I find umbrella's to be very difficult.
Nice bathing suit designs in nice colors.
Everything else stands out great against that dark background.
Great job, thanks for sharing.

Love this depiction of sophisticated women. Love the colors pallet. There is lots of interesting details including the reflections in their glasses. Very nicely done.

This is really deserving of a 6 star rating. I'm glad I have one left. This is so well planed with the composition and color placement. The use of orange, yellow and blue is done in a way that is so appealing and attractive. The costumes, headdress, parasols, and glasses are all done so well. Love the way the one lady is looking at the other one. Love it. You have my vote on this one. Super cool artwork.

Love the composition with the cross color placements of the robes and umbrellas drawing attention to the identical sunglasses. Good anatomical correctness of the female forms and good use of different contrasting colors of the swim suits while remaining harmonious with the yellow and oranges. Overall a very pleasant and pretty drawing to look at. Reasons for my five star vote.

I really like the details you have achieved in this piece. Your fabric folds are superb. The only suggestion I have is that I would prefer your background be a different shade than your skin tones, but that is a personal choice.

This is just awesome to view! Two ladies in their swim suits and head wraps with umbrellas and their beach cover ups ,both wearing their designer sunglasses, they are ready to hit the beach or the lounge chairs at pool side ! I love the suit on the lady on the left, the colors and details here just amaze me! The artist thought of everything and completed their outfits with necklaces and bracelets too! I love this and really had fun viewing! Best to you in the contest!
