[Aquanet] February critique

[Patrick Davis]

Hi, all.

Louise, this is a lovely piece of art. I especially like the treatment 
of the background trees and also the subtle interplay of the mixing 
colours on the grass and in the shadows on the white shirts. This is 
something I keep telling myself to do but I am so anal about nitty, 
picky detail usually.

I also admire your figures. They are real to me, and this is important 
as most of the figures I try look like relatives of Quasimodo orr 
something out of an outlandish horror movie.

The one discordant element to me is the dark, dark shadow under the 
bench. This pulls my eye to what is basically a dead spot rather than to 
the figures.  If this could be lightened, I think the painting would 
hold together better.

All in all, a really good job!!!!!

cheers
pat
