  1. I love the variation in energy and emotion that expresses through the differing ways the paints are applied. Marvelous choices, too! Thanks.

  2. Fun grouping! I like to paint men and show their sensitive side. Seems the art world is obsessed with only painting women, unless it is a commission.
