A lovely portrait painting that brings out your unique style. Especially I like the way you arrange the light and the dark. The lady is very well painted. background is beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely.
I think the background is very nice for this work.
Great ethereal felling to her skin tones--is she real? is she an illusion? Nice job.

The left boob is off a bit.

it is like a balloon and not a boob.

unusual work for u and I like that. the nice sky adds to it and the cross or star burst is cool.

Nice work, but I prefer some of your other pieces of art. Nice facial expression, but somehow this does not look natural.

That is very clever, the matching colors on her arm that leads back up behind her head. That is what I saw first and your sky comes next for me. Very striking in the sense of her confidence and strength of internal conviction. Her eyes tell me so. Her positive stance and determination coming forward. Nothing holds her back. And she knows it. Lovely flowing hair. Perfect length of hair to her waist adds balance. Beautiful face in all aspects. This screams power! I see this very different than others that you do. I love this one deeply. You can shows off women better than anyone I know here. Very tasteful in representing women. Woman in strength, on a mission and making a statement here I admire, thanks for this one. How about a USA woman? Red, white and blue in U.S service, any branch. Mine idea, Navy! Your blue here is awesome.

    My father served in two world wars, Korean and WWII, and I wanted to join the Navy, but dad was so against me doing that. I am so happy that you shared all of your story with me here. I left off using the word military in my review to you and you felt my review which I expected. My father was a sharp shooter. My dad was trying to save a man's life and dad took the Shapnel pieces into his body, very painful all of his life. I deeply thank you and I would love to see that military side exposed more in your art. I understand if it is way to painful, I do understand. The way you do faces, the expressions and mood come across very effective you are. Thanks.

Really superb use of colour here James. That background really is dramatic and gives this fabulous oil painting real impact. She's very sexy too!

Wonderful colors in the background framing the whiteness of the model. Very nice detail and texture with a fantastic expression on her face. I am having problems with the whole perspective of her boobs. Maybe I am looking at her incorrectly, I don't know. Help!

Comment from trishgoody


I like the color in this and the movement in the sky with the star giving just the right amount of attention to this piece.
Not sure about the sexy female in the context of what I think is a religious picture to mark Easter. Might be very wrong here but that is what comes across to me. Maybe she signifies Mary Magdelene that was touched by Jesus.
If so, this is tremendous!
