Dawn, the painting process fascinates me so I decided to give your painting the "Hack Test" - I copied it, converted it to greyscale and compared the grey and color side-by-side. Without the "OOOOH! Pretty colors!" distraction, I was able to see more details but I still prefer the lusciously colored version.
Verdict: you are a gifted artist and not a hack (as if my opinion had great influence )

I like the one in the bottom right corner the best, I'm calling it "Tiki and Nude in Blue Fog"
Beautiful again Dawn

They are beautiful, Dawn. Thank you so much for sharing them. Given my economic circumstances (I was laid off from my job in April 2010) there is no way I could afford them, but I really enjoy looking at them anyway. And I love the resemblance to the Waikikian Hotel Lobby building.
