    brian homewood The more I look at your work the more I like it Pauline you have a real talent for figuarative painting considering no formal tuition the feel colour handling and brushwork on this painting and the background is inspiring and is second to none -I don't look at the models eyes and expression like Duncan although he is correct in what he says -it is a very natural pose which is fantastic -I look at the way you have painted it -top class
    the light etc -you obviously do have friends who also paint

    Pauline Adair Hi again Brian.... I love the way you keep coming back to this one. That's quite a compliment in itself! Thank you for all those kind and inspiring comments.
    I gave this painting to the model, and it now resides in the UK. But from memory, it was 50 x 40cm.... or approx 20 x 16 inches.
    Warmest regards...
