As I told Susan, when I saw the reference photo I knew how I wanted to paint it so went with that instead of going directly by the photo. I'm glad you like it. I'm pretty pleased with it since it is really close to what I had in mind - that always makes me happy.<BR/> <BR/>I can't wait to see what you have done.Karen Hargetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332545449869106592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462611214963992941.post-79269913102890058952008-10-05T21:50:00.000-05:002008-10-05T21:50:00.000-05:00Oh Karen, this is just lovely.
