"I really enjoyed the first depiction of a woman lying on a couch...very sensuous, very provacitive. The second depiction of a woman is athletic, training, a goal in mind, perhaps towards the light? This is wonderful femninismn and I hope the artist continues with such expression!"

"These are beautiful"

"Absolutely breathtaking."

Congratulations!I am an artist working in South Africa and also paint nudes, amongst other things, so I do know how difficult painting the human form is.I think you really have a feeling and understanding for and of the subject. Well done!"
