As I was sketching this out onto my panel, I noticed cool similarities between the viewer and the subjects in the painting - the soft shoes and the folded arms. Bloggers often point these things out that I didn't pick up, which always tickles me.

Bonjour chère amie,
Une constatation qui demande réflexion !... L'admiratrice complètement projetée ...
Belle oeuvre.
Gros bisous ♡
Karen,
I wish you hadn't written that you often don't realize the body language and clothing connection between your viewers and the selected painting. I always first laugh at how clever and humane you are with that choice and then enjoy the visual expression of meaningful merging that seems to take place.
Because of this I have thought of your work as narrative - I look at your work repeatedly with the stories they suggest in mind. Often their stories change too - fun as well as beautiful.
I'll continue to believe you do this deliberately though perhaps unconsciously.
Love your paintings. Thank You.
You have beautiful style and understanding in your work! I can't wait to see what you will post next.
