Super light capture Russell in this piece. Interesting capture.

Oh and you have loosened up and not gone for tight details.

What a fabulous portrait Russell. You have such a light touch and great storytelling ability. A painting to treasure I'm sure.

Beautiful. Love the subject matter and that light is great.

Super capture of a moment, and a great title!

So good. The light wonderful, and the young girl's pose absolutely right.

Top drawer...and I SO approve of the title and its' sentiment!

That's a lovely oil, Russell. And your trademark " catching the light" - we love the light!

Wonderful sensitive portrait and great light, Russel, and nice granddaughter of course. I like the title too, I child reading a book is today almost a rarity.

Beautiful portrait & I love the title.

That's lovely Russell, love the way you have the light coming through.

Thank you all for your positive comments, they're very much appreciated as always.

Another captivating portrait with beautiful light falling on your subject.

I always recognise your paintings. Books are great. My daughter is reading her's on the swing at the moment,

Love the natural pose of this Russell and the light shining on her hair and face. A sheer delight to look at.

Great pose and painting, Russell
