Hi Ho


At the very least, it looks like a lady holding a baby.

This was started for a particular figurative show but didn't get finished in time. It's painted on a thick weave linen.

This is also one of those paintings that was a struggle to paint. I don't know why that happens; why some paintings I toil over almost from the beginning. On paintings like this I wish I had seven little dwarfs to help me work.

It's so beautiful. I love your use of color. I didn't even notice it at first, but taken out of context, you look like a punk rock chick with the color streaks in your hair. Just a testament to how well the colors work in this piece. Gorgeous!

When you find those seven little dwarfs, send them on my way when you're done with them. I got lots of work for them too.

I think it looks great.
