Husband - "You should name her Maris."
Me - "Why?"
Husband - "Duh, she looks like a Maris."
Caleb (age 11) - "Mom, why do you like to draw naked girls?"
Me - "Excuse me!! I don't draw naked girls. . ."
Caleb - "Really? She looks naked to me. . ."
Me - "Connor, what do you think of this?"
Connor (age 15 - barely looking up from his video game) - "Looks pretty, mom."
Me - "Did you even look at her?"
Connor - "Ya?"
It has been a crazy busy week - work and taxes. It seems like a great idea to file an extension until it is time to buckle down and do the taxes - BLECH!! Apparently, when I need a break I decide to paint a naked, pretty girl named Maris. What do you do when you need a break?

I've never heard of the name Maris, I imagine she is wearing a lovely wrap dress, and she completely abhors video games :) she is lovely - love her eyes and fish tail braid and the three stray hairs. Lovely job.
She's very pretty indeed! I love her braid and her lips are so lovely... I shouldn't admit this, but I think I surf the internet when I need a break...
Maris looks great! I love how you have done the shadow around her. I am sure when I show my husband things I make he doesn't really look at them. He has learned I think to get a big smile on his face and enthusiastically say "THat looks great!"
LOL
Well done - a very lovely young lady is Maris....visiting from AIB
Amusing conversations you have! Very pretty! Love the eyes! Patsy from

I think the name suits her. I love the feel of her, she is gorgeous. Love her, and I love her hair.
Maris is a perfect name for such a beautiful piece. Even though she is naked!! LOL Love your work..
Maris is lovely - she might just be wearing something strapless!!
I like the way she looks comfortable as if she will be peaceful with whatever comes her way.
Maris is lovely! Do you ALWAYS paint naked women??
:)
She is beautiful......
I love the effect of the shading around her.
Definitely a cup of tea!
