This is a great painting. How did you create that effect on those leaves in her hair - it's gorgeous!!

Looks like I found another book to add to my wish list on Amazon (plus to lament that there's another book I didn't write!!)

So proud I am of the Peeps I've met here...Awards, books, sure. But the best is the sharing of your paintings and thoughts.

Wonderful to be recognized, but the real gifts are achievements. And yours are particularly outstanding.

PEACE, Manon!

Hell Manon! Beautiful on the inside as well I see :)

Congratulations on being in that book, it's so very well deserved mind you, your enthusiasm generates enthusiasm in your readers, something that only a few artists are able to do.

Whenever I come here I feel like painting :)

Sheila said...

You go girl!!! Now you need to publish your own book. It will supplement the video lessons you'll be selling I'm sure.

AutumnLeaves said...

I think this latest piece is a new favorite, Manon. The leaves are just exquisitely painted and make me realize how little I am able to achieve with a brush. I need to figure more things out! Put more thought into a piece. Sigh...Congrats on being part of this book. It looks lovely!

Buffy said...

Omgosh congrats on being in the book. How exciting. I have to go and get one or at least put it on my wish list. Love your girl,so dreamy.

This is really great, your being in that lovely book, M! And the painting, well, it's just fabulous. The colors are so rich and warm and sensual, like a fire to curl up in front of - preferably with a snifter of cognac.

Diane said...
