Congratulations! You deserve this win! It's a lovely portrait of feminine beauty which you are so prolific at capturing! There is a softness in the lighting and texture!

Sensational! Congratulations on the award---well deserved. Her eyes occupy not even 5 percent of the painting, and yet they have SO much expression. Beautiful draping of her gown, too.

James, fine job. Very good likeness. Nice job on the folds of the dress. One thing that is puzzling is the shadow on the chest. You the ability to see and that is evident. Always to a pleasure to view your work. Ray G.

A good looking image posted here! Is this of that famous 40/50's actress? Your fine and full composition grants us an enjoyable pose by that screen superstar. Shades and tones are good. Nicely painted!

Lovely artwork of Kelly with wonderful posture and so pleasing expression on her beautiful face.
The flowing dress, hair and the cloud like background are add to the active motion so nicely captured by the artist with great talent.

Comment from Daphne Oberon


I view this work as especially fine -- a still pose in motion as it were. In my view it has an unusual quality, almost a photographic capture of a moment in time. I also appreciate that it captures femininity in a way that is respectful rather than erotically suggestive -- I don't mean concerning being fully clothed. My observation is not about this. I would actually like to see you do this work taking off the dress to see how that would turn out as an experiment. My admiration for this piece! It is lovely! Thanks for sharing!!
