Maureen,
A beautiful picture of the lady resting in a pool her eyes closed as she listens to her inner thoughts. Created in your artist's eye for composition. Very skilful draftsmanship, beautiful choice, blending of your colours bringing this beautiful image to life on your canvas.

A painting in a frozen moment. It is a silent conversation between the artist's brush and the subject's essence. The colours, composition, and overall aesthetic are genuinely captivating. Well done!

I'm not clear why there is a warning on this. It is a perfectly respectable image of a woman relaxing in a pond/lake. Her lovely long hair and pensive expression, you have shown with great skill.

    Thank you. I felt that some people would take offence if their children were members of Fanart.

Not sure why there is a warning on this. There are no girly bits showing. ::) It's very beautiful. Has a really nice serene feel to it. Colors, tones, details, shading all look really good. Overall a nice presentation. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful woman with long, dark hair , she is relaxing in the pond .
She is well placed within this space and I like the plants that are framing her. Love the soft pastel water and sky .
She is well created with good show of her facial shape and structure . Nice work to show her hair. I like her closed eyes telling us she is relaxed,
Well arranged and presented!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of a pretty woman enjoying a cooling bath in a lovely lake. Nicely drawn!

Being a photographer with little knowledge in traditional art, I imagine painting humans is very challenging, yet you make it look like a walk in the park. The scale, expression, highlights and low lights, along with that facial expression - demonstrates your broad breadth of knowledge in your craft. The presentation is nicely balanced with the additional reeds on the right of the canvas. The subtle soft pink background supports the tranquil feeling you have achieved. Beautiful!
