Artist Reply: Thank you for your kind remark. I noticed in your work you are dealing with the wonderful problem of freckles. If you would kindly take a peak at mt sight you will notice that most of the women have freckles.I have been working on the problem for most of my adult life. Both you and I apparently LOVE detail and the only way to have detail on a young woman subject is with freckles. R.C.Bailey
Geez RC...this is GORGEOUS...so sorry I missed it when it was originally posted...Beautiful expression and pose...skillfully done as always! Love the palatte too! :)
this one I really like. The woman is very pretty and very realisticly drawn. It is so difficult to draw rain and water on the skin, yet it looks so real. Very good job.
I really like the cold/warm colour contrast as well as that of the old paint of the fence on the background and the youth and beauty of the girl. Wonderful work! Very impressive!
I like the subtle contrast between the skin color and the blue-green background. The droplets seem to glisten, giving the work an incandescent quality. Nice work.
It is really interesting how you are moving from the symbolic art to the classic portrait, and finally to this modern image. What a great character! I love the background colors very much.
This is wonderful.. Great composition and you can almost feel the refreshing coolness from the water. Great piece Kudos and a 10+ from the Camel Jockey
Very beautiful artwork. You have wonderfully transferred the invoice of a damp skin and a transparency of wet clothes, water drops. Very professionally! Great! 10 ++++
