What I liked about your painting is the way the woman’s body curves and sinks into the pillow. Her hip curves up just a bit in a very senuous way, and the curve is echoed in many other places, but most specifically in the branches over her head.

The dog looks a bit dangerous to me, though, I think it’s jealous of its place and doesn’t want anyone getting near.

Karl’s observation about the warm distance playing off the cool foreground makes me smile. It’s one of my favorite ploys and you’ve used it doubly with the sensual curves of the cool blues and grays. What a delight.

I don’t think this woman is mysterious. I think she is comfortable. It’s that hip and the loitering hand that make me think so.

interesting idea. I will think about what my paradise is like or, perhaps, rather my way to my paradise.

I am still more into physical activity. As a friend of mine recently said, there is only one speed for a sagittarius, fast and faster.

The dog reminds me too much of the one up the street that yelps and nips at me on my runs and the Girl-Woman-Doll is, well, I certainly hope… an unnecessary fantasy.

The right eye gazes serenely, the right hair is pulled back, held by a flower. The table holds refreshment and most of the key.

The left eye stares ahead, with a gaze that is scared (?), blank(?) but definitely lacking in enlightenment. The left hair is loose. The dog, sitting comfortably on her right arm, is suspiciously staring at someone or something to the woman’s left.

An impressive painting! The woman’s face is more expressive, if I remember correctly, than those of the summer girls.
