Scott, this is so beautifully done. I love the way you've positioned her and the closeups of her face are just so subtle and sweet. There's something very charming and nostalgic about this. Beautiful!

Scott, this truly is a timeless portrait. I love her pondering, sensitive pose and find your color choices just beautiful. The tiny flower adds a nice touch and great symbolism.
Ah, you got her soul not just her image. Just wonderful!

Such quiet dignity
Scott, your painting is truly amazing. I too love the soft edges as the face turns away from us. And the value control around the nose with the found and lost edges take my breath away. This painting makes me want to hug this child. Her innocence with such dignity capture the essence and beauty of childhood. Wow, I stand if awe. I am inspired anew to paint with quiet reserve. So strong, thank you for sharing it with us.

Scott,
What a breathtaking delight to open up to!! I don't know what I can add except that it is also my favorite painting of yours. I love seeing all your work, but this far surpassing every previous painting, the subject, the colors, the emotion, composition, is all tender, in a very understated way, which is what I love about it. Her expression and her pose is so subtle and the way you handled her sweetness was with great care.
Bravo!!!

Dear Scott,
It is such a privilege to see your work. This painting (as are all your paintings) is a semester's work in studying edges. I doubt I could be more eloquent than the preceding posts, I just know what this little child's skin would feel like if I touched it. I so wish I could have met you as well.
As you might guess, this is my SECOND favorite painting of yours.
