  1. Very nice - I like the subject, and it has such a peaceful about it. Love the way you worked the glass and the suggestion of the image beyond the window.

    When I saw "afternoon nap" I imagined the image would be of a cat or something. I love your description of the flower settling back in the glass.

  5. This one put a smile on my face. It remind me of "the boy in the bubble", the flower is living a secluded life. I also love how you really put the glass with the flower in focus with just a few value changes.

  20. I like the representation of the cold on the outside, so that I feel even the window glass is cold, and the warmth of the red flower. Lovely painting.
