Maria, the water is so wonderfully done! This is lovely and summery, and it's making me want to go on vacation already. (But we have to wait til later this summer).
I have to admit that I love when figurative painting is integrated with landscape, especially when it is done as successfully as you have painted this. I am also so impressed with the skill with which you bring your own creativity and innate color sense to use a B&W photo reference to create this beautiful piece!
Living proof that all you need to see are values....and it can be painted in any color. You did this so successfully, I almost want to pull out my black & whites from B&W Photography class and try some. The opererative words are, "almost want to". LOL

Maria - I'm always delighted to check the blog and see your figurative paintings. This is another great piece.
Great portrait that stands by itself as a landscape without the beautiful portrait!
