Even though it seemed like a lot of "work", I enjoyed experimenting with combining a few different techniques, so it was actually fun to do. Thanks for the compliments. |

Good idea, Nancy. I wonder if I took a photo further to the left that I forgot about and could try a do-over after adding it, or at least clone it in, as you suggest. |

I like the original and the watercolor both. It's a nice perspective and you turned it into what appears to be a real painting-painting. My only preference would be to have less white "cloud" in the painting, more blue sky to contrast with the golden leaves, at least in the very center and top. Just let the whiteness of some tree trunks remain to draw the eye up to the center against the blue, blue sky. |

This turned out fabulous, Nancy, especially because of the terrific brush stroke work behind the subject! One would think that having such bright colors would compete with the center of interest, but that just didn't happen. The geisha and what she is doing with the tea ceremony holds our interest. I like the way you eliminated the spectators in the audience who were a distraction and then how you recreated the important parts of the scene that they had been overlapping. I am impressed with the chalk brushing. |

Good human interest that projects through the painting treatment. You captured a very poignant worried moment for the young girl that most of us can identify with in our own childhood. I agree with the others about the child's skin texture looking a little too harsh/rough because of the impasto painting technique. The way it looks on the simple background, however, is nicely handled. |
