I've been housesitting for the past 2 weeks and have done very little painting as a result. In addition I never made the deadlines for Karin's DSDF Diana challenge, nor the one for the Masters Challenge.
I did finish the Companion of Diana e-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y, but have to confess that I'm nowhere near finished the Masters one.
This is my version of Diana's companion (I'm not even going anywhere near the Manhattan taxis!)

Hi, Liz. Beautiful form and proportions on this lady! I also really like the colors you've chosen.
Beautifully done!
Very nice Liz, there is a nice warm glow on her. Your sketch is right on.
Liz, This is just beautiful. I'm with Dean, your colors are exquisite! I say better late than never! I was nervous about the taxi's too, but handled ALL THOSE WINDOWS by using collage...:) The last two challenges I've done were a bit of a stretch...but I didn't attempt this one...Glad to see you got to work some more!
This is beautiful, LIz.I didn't even try this one.It looked so intimidating.You have done a great job..never mind if its late- we are enjoying it and thats the point!
Its really beautiful,Liz!I liked the colors.
Hi Elizabeth, I have to agree with the previous posts..your colors are amazing, I love the blue background and the orange, warm light ...Beautiful, very well done!!
Wow, this is beautiful, Liz. If you didn't meet the deadline, you certainly answered the challenge admirably!
Hi Liz
It is a beautiful piece, love the colors and it s great.
Better late than never :). The marble looks like marble .you have used some of those colors for background creates good homogeneous eefect
this is so delicate and beautiful, Liz. I love the colors. and I feel exactly the same way about those taxis (and all of those windows!)
fragile and solid,very effective liz,proportions look good to me,love the warmer tones in the figure vs the cool blue background
Hello Dean, thank you so much. I used three colours so it was a major challenge - ultramarine, cad orange with a touch of cad red and white.

Hi Liz:

Happy painting.
Pete,Theartbrush
Wow! This is great! I adore your palette and, Liz, the marble looks slick and cool to the touch despite the lovely warm tones which only help to emphasize the stone's texture. Kudos!
Hi Peggy - you're welcome to the taxis! And you did a damn good job as well. Thanks for the nice words.
Oh oh Sheila, I didn't kick you off - I promise! Glad I'm back again though and thanks for that. I'm going to check Daphne out now!
