If the woman wasn't in the painting I would put it on my wall.  I love the pink colors throughout.


We are all different I know.  If the woman wasn't in the painting I would not have bought it.  She is what drew me to the painting primarily.

It's reminiscent of Christina by Andrew Wyeth.  Smiley Happy  And, yes, the pink is a bit much.  I wonder what the pink is along the road.


I think the pink along the road is flowering bushes, perhaps azalea or rhododendron.  They have a more abstract look to them.  That is one of the things I like about this painting, a lot of realism mixed with a little abstract.

Don't know anything about art but the woman doesn't seem to fit.

It would not fit in with my decor but it is lovely.  Enjoy.  I hope you found a special place for it in your home.

I like paintings of beautful, somewhat mysterious, women but this woman is most unattractive.

@giddy upMakes me think of the wonderful days gone by when life seemed slower paced.  I really love the picture.

I love this pic!  It's full of pretty colors & it's just a very peaceful, countryside setting.  I can see how it calls out your name.
