This painting is an accomplished, confident portrait, well handled with drawing, tone and colour. The unusual cropped composition gives a strong sense of the person's presence. 

This work drew me in straight away with it's strong contrasts and glowing colour.  The simple rounded forms, sharp focus with hard edges gives the work a fresh, confident appeal.

Strong sense of the presence of this bird, beautifully detailed, strong and well contrasted against the softness of the sky and foliage.

I was drawn to the beautiful atmosphere in this work created by Jane's choice of colours and the backlit light effect, using the pastel with a soft technique to further enhance that sense of atmosphere.

This painting is a delightful tonal study with flowing soft edges where the viewer is able to feel the tranquility of the flowers. Soft pastel colors harmonize the painting beautifully

A charming subject, well drawn and composed with a beautiful, soft rendering of the wool, using the texture of [pastel really well
