I admire you for challenging yourself
with such a difficult subject...both in the hat and in the cast shadow. You did both beautifully. Love the way the sun shines through the holes in the shadowed side of her hat.

Great painting, Kathy. It really comes alive on close inspection. And I love the colours. Good luck with it.

I would say, Very Cool. You did a great job painting the straw hat shadows. Beautiful.

Wow...thank you all for such encouraging comments. All of that time at the easel with this one suddenly seems worthwhile!
