I am so excited to finally share this special painting - my first this year. It seems that I have been painting for everyone else lately so I am so excited to finally create one for me. Although it had its challenges I am really happy with the result. I wanted to quit several times but I slowly kept at ending up creating my favorite piece so far. The original is so vibrant and sparly, I only wish you could see how beautiful it it is in real life. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Its a joy to see! Its one of my favorites of your work. You have a beautiful distinctive style that shows strongly in this one. I also love Fallen Angel, Bzzz, Forever, Midnight Dream, Bewitched, and Epiphany. All of those have strong contrast and express your strong personal style best to me. I truly enjoy your work. You are gifted indeed.Maureen Bloesch 30 Jan 2010

i love this so much so beautiful and serene!! love the scenery and all the details beautiful!!Anonymous Guest 30 Jan 2010
Renata, You have good reason to be excited with this one. Its warm, good color, good composition, serene, good perspective too. The child looking at the audience makes the painting personal and involves the viewer. Excelent handling of the faces,hair, the forground leaves, and dress. A bit hasty with the back ground trees and mountains. I'd almost be tempted to eliminate them. Very well done, I'm impressed...HarryAnonymous Guest 30 Jan 2010
