Wonderful lady. Gorgeous look she has. Very colorful. Presented so very well for this viewing box. Great light in this piece. Your accent and placement of light amazes me, but why, your a master artist that's why! Beautiful scene here, great pavers under her feet. Love her classy stance looking over that shoulder. Sexy dress and that hat send this scene over the top. Well done as always!

Comment from Renate-Bertodi


the man who sees the beauty in beautiful women, and |I tell thee James, the way some women look now adays, I appreciate your eye for beauty! When I was young it was a joy to be female, beautiful colours and fabrics. Now adays, many look as though they have come out of a logging camp. Yes she is bonny, but why the polar bear in the sky. That sky is fascinating? Nice presentation on a nice scene. I would give her shoe a little more toe, even though you have finished. Lovely colours.

Wow! I love this one......nice how you draw us into this art work. I like how the light is falling on this beautiful young girl and on that famous street in Florence Italy with the dome of Santa Maria shinning so brightly at the end of the street. Good brush strokes and blending and shading of colors. Good facial proportions and body proportions. Your play with light and shadows is perfect as well. A creative and talented art work. Thanks for sharing. Love this!

Simply beautiful, The pastel colors work so well together with the blues, greens and light browns or tans. The visual perspective is really a feast the eyes with the geometric lines and vanishing points next to the soft curves of the girl and impressionistic clouds. Thank you for sharing this on FAR.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


Slender model against the nice architectural structures and dramatic skyline.
I Ike the suggestive, seductive pose...
The floor rendition is impeccable.
Exquisite fashion portrait.
Diminishing perspective leads the viewers' eyes to that nice dome at the far end.
Vanishing viewpoint added more depth.
Perhaps its better to tone down that distraction harsh reflection on the glass window.

Thanks for sharing...

Nicely created scene. She stands out and makes the picture all about her. She is a bit of a tease. The simplicity of the background and the leading lines all work to bring her out. Nice color choices. Well done.

This is a beautiful painting with incredible detail all the way through, the buildings, the street, the sky , wonderful lighting and this gorgeous lady standing on the street and turns to face the viewer, she wears a short feminine dress, a picture hat and high heels, she has long legs, very well rendered with excellent choices of colors and tones , this is beautiful work, impressive to view!

Certainly one of your better works of art James. She has such a demure yet seductive look. Great pose with her head turned to look back at us. The strees and surroungind buildings are Very well done. Those dramatic clouds abobe the cathedral attract the eye and add drama to this scene. Very well done James. Iwish I had a six as this is all of that and more ~ Steve

As I said before James, I think this is one of your best. I love the color and detail in the background, but it's her perfect face and seductive expression that really captures my attention. Her short skirt and amazing legs are also an eye-catcher. Great work!!!

Dave
