This so good - a lovely peaceful pose and so well executed. I particularly like the hands - they are definitely your hands. Hands are notoriously difficult, so well done. I also like the shading on the arms.

As we can't go away on holiday at the moment, I thought I'd paint a picture of a previous holiday... this is my favourite spot at my favourite resort on the Kenyan coast. It's nice and quiet so I can read my book in peace - usually an old classic like "Jane Eyre"! Oil on board, 16x12 inches.
