this style is very interesting and the use of complementary colors gives it life.

She is 12 x 8 inches.

They all vary. The biggest are 36 inches by 40 inches.

Most are 24 by 18 inches.

Your pictures touch me in a very sad way. They look so beautiful, but I can see the sadness and the pain behind the happy faces.

You're very welcome, and they do speak to me... and you have to be a good artist to do that.

Just found your gallery, and am looking through your work - wow. You're consistently an incredible artist, and I can't help but be surprised by your subject matter... I'm somewhat dumbstruck, actually. Wow.

But to evoke the name of the great Diego Velasquez... Many thanks.
