    I think I'd recognize your figures anywhere. They are distinctive and bold. I love the red on this nude--but then you know I do love red.

    I just love the touches of red in the bottom one. So striking!

    I haven't noticed any unusual amount of flowers this spring. But you're lucky they're fully showing up where you're at, JS!

    Thanks, Linda. I do too.

    Thanks, Joni. I've now inverted the order of the drawings, which I intended to do earlier, but didn't because of time restraints. I--or blogger--can be kind of clunky awkward technologically.

    Thanks, Anthony. I love the gestures.

    Thanks for the thumbs up, PA.

    Cafe, last spring was so dry here that the normal flowering was much curtailed. This spring is much lovelier.

    Paula, I am loving them.

    I am really in awe of the simplicity yet visually fullness of your work. The yellow one is my favorite. I love how the pigment flows

    Thank you, Milton.

    Thank you, minnemie. Me too. The flow is a large part of the joy of water media.

    Ciao Jean,
    che bell'effetto questo corpo che riempie lo spazio, sembra immenso e
    dà la sensazione di offuscare qualsiasi elemento intorno!
    I colori mi piacciono moltissimo|
    Le altre due figure mi hanno richiamato alla mente Nausicaa (non so perchè) forse per la leggiadria e abbandono...
    Ciao, ciao, un abbraccio, Floriana

    The red is a fun surprise, but all in all, I like the figure in gold the best of the three.

    Jean, If I may, I love "Seated figure in read". Seduce me.The reflection of light in your breast.The combination of gold (¿sun light?) and purple (¿blood?)
    You say "Draw of life".
    I was impressed by this work

    Thanks, Banjo. I'm surprised: gold over red, for you.

    Thank you, Blanco.
