Jeez nat! I have to get in a long line to tell you how much I like this. It's fantastic and just reaches right out to the viewer.

Some paintings use color to fill in the gaps. But the use of color here is masterful! It is not the image per se but what the image brings with it. This is a plume ,if you will, of glory. So many colors any where else and in any other fashion would be intrusive. But this is inviting. Each color has, or appears to have it's own stroke or signature. They are sporadic, yet dance in harmony. An orchestra of prismatic delight! A brilliant work of art Natalie!

I’ve changed my mind totally from my last comment (on ALLURE OF LOVE. I didn't mean to post it twice but thought I had not submitted it yet and had another line or two to add -- which I did!). Anyway, now I am certain that KUZIAN is absolutely my favorite of all your splendid paintings here. (I have much more to say, but I'm running into problems with the Powers that Bind! (cont.)

(Cont.) KUZIANA really (not uniquely) excels at your fun/seriousness, and I especially enjoy the much freer more-dribbled background/surroundings, as well as the colors. I just noticed that, if your paintings are posted fairly chronologically, there\'s some movement from )1 just flowers (either trying to outgrow a vased or just being happy as they are themselves to 2) mostly bare trees to (Whoops! The comment cops say I admire too much too long AGAIN!)

3) the flowers again on trees to adding 4) women 5) goddesses and more exotic and imagined women to ) adding the addled, multi-colored backgrouond (only sometimes flowers) to the exotic women and frequently daring very effective and intrigueing (I think, however it\'s spelled!) a-simetry. I love it all!
