Just love the description of how this came about ..... I love this piece.. Outstanding, despite her sitting down not standing, and we can only see her from the back....)Charles Jones 23 Jul 2007
Yes, the tilt of the head does suggest melancholy, Linda. But with such a firm foundation, I'm sure she won't lose her balance. Great piece, pun intended. :)Steve Farr 22 Jul 2007

Fantastic art or should I say ass! brill write up tooGeorge Wallis 24 Jun 2007
you are the bomb, and your work rocksSally Pulford 21 Jun 2007
I love how fluid this piece is...especially her "ass", the movement of the paint fully describes the softness and voluptuousness of the female form. I totally agree with you that she is a little sad...the poem describes how she is waiting and waiting can make us very sad...even hopeless. Although she is not hopeless, there is a sad, patient waiting. As usual you brush, hand and whatever you are using, strokes are so effective, especially when combined with the golds. Magnificent.!Zara Gasparyan 21 Jun 2007

Wasn't it The Bear Necessities Linda. I nude what you meant.Joe Sweeney 09 Jun 2007
Linda,gorgeous, work, thank you for sharing.Elf Evans 09 Jun 2007
I've always like to "shoot people from behind" because point a camera at someone and they have an agenda, and want to pose and play act often out of fear. Turn the same person around and they are honest, with what they portray to the camera, also the photograper can relax and concentrate on the anatomy, attitude of the subject, and all the other intangibles related to the situation. We want to have people pay us to shoot our FACES...we will show them our ASSES for FREE...Fine image, I am close enough the San Francisco to say, "she will dig it",,, and since I'am a man...yeah the ass is fine, J-Lo or just plain JAM...Joao Carita 09 Jun 2007
