      Beautiful painting Whitney!

      Here's a slightly brighter version with contrast slightly enhanced if you want it.

      Cheers,
      Lee

          @lee-white uh, thanks so dang much! I really appreciate the retouch! And thanks for the compliment. You guys really help stretch our imagination! I love the monthly theme and being able to watch everyone’s work evolve and succeed! Makes us all level up, ha!

            @whitney-simms such a great piece. You should post the photo here like you did on instagram, so everyone can see how well you captured it. Great Job!

              It's beautiful! You really downplay it with all your disclaimers. It doesn't need a background, it works perfectly as a spot illustration, and why do you say it's not a portfolio piece? I could totally see this at home in a portfolio.

                  @Chip-Valecek thanks so much for your support! Here is my tiny girl.
                  @TessaW thanks for your kind words. I really wasn’t trying to fish for compliments. 🤪 I’m just a very excitable person. Jazz hands all the way. And I wanted to share my piece. I guess I always think of portfolio pieces with a little more meat to them. I’m pretty terrified of a full background and multiple people. I will tackle it soon. I am working on freehanding the figure. So it seemed like an exercise. You see all the awesome work submitted for the monthly theme. It’s rarely spot illustration. But seriously, thanks for your thoughtful words. That really means so much! I think David Hohn was saying “have your words that you are trying to convey.” And you guys totally got my objective with this piece. Movement, simplicity and elegance.

                            @whitney-simms not silly! I have to forcefully restrain myself from posting the SECOND I am done with something for the day. Lol. Especially to Instagram since I’m trying to make that look more professional. It’s not working 🤣🤣.

                              Not much to offer, but it's a great painting and done be afraid to compliment your own work when you feel you got it right 🙂
