Another wonderful watercolour by your deft hand!
Wish i could watch you paint...ever thought of doing a work in progress?
I love the purple shadows on the sheets... beautifully contrasting with the skin tones you have used... also making the whiteness of the linens you have preserved seem brighter and crisper.

Absolutely Perugina.
Lovely piece Mike, You have captured the emotion of the moment so well, she just looks so relaxed and rested - (I am so jealous of her!!)

This is definitelly a HUGE WOW - just beautiful !!!
Great painting by a very skilled hand.
Personally, I think the bit of leg intrudes on the whole & draws the eye too much ... er... not that you asked for critique but with your skill level I doubt you'll be offended.
