I like both of these images.

Bravo. These figures look ‘touchable’. You want to touch them. But mostly you want to look. Amazing composition and values contrast.
Thank you,
Jeanne

I enjoy the use of color and light in these compositions. There is something more “alive” about them than so much of todays works. Thank you, Mr. Watkiss.

The atypical, casual poses are captivating. Shadowing makes the painting very intriguing!
