This deserves a 6 but I am sorry I am all out.
This is yet another one of your many masterpieces. You have captured the seductive lure of your subject and her body and form are right on. Beautiful! I love the grays and blues of the background also. Once again a fabulous piece from a very gifted artist.

Comment from Jean A Cormier


THis is simply dazzling...wonderful initial impact, lighting is so well crafted! Hard to control wet on wet done masterfully, wonderful background and can see what you mean about the wisp of hair, knowing that is only a glare of course! Only a 5 star left for the week, this deserves a 6! I am so glad to see that you mentioned the paint mixes-I will use any type of paint but really like Winsor & Newton for oil work. jean

    I buy so many different mediums, oil, watersoluble oil, watercolors, pencils, etc., and surfaces, I have to watch the budge too! It is easy to go overboard when I like something and buy the most expensive. THanks for the info! jean

Comment from allanoak


Nice capture of her expressive eyes and biting of thumb.

The curves of the posterior and shoulders adds alure.


The flowing blond hair adds interest,

I do find however that my eye is drawn to her cheek bone. The light/dark shadow and highlight seems like it is a scar on her face, which of course it is not.

Nice job, and thanks for sharing.

Did she catch you peeping through the key hole? She looks horified! (just kidding!) . Nice nude painting. I like the softness you have achieved through out the painting. Good effort!

Comment from bizzygirl


I think you do a great job with the human form. The picture on the front page is a better one than we get to review. Although it is not a nude, I wonder if it is appropriate for all ages? The attitude of the model is very well caught. The hair is fluid and flowing. One thing that bothers me is the mark on the cheek. I cannot tell if meant to be shadow or a scar. It looks like a deep scar. I do like the art in spite of what I have mentioned. GOOD JOB

    You are welcome. Sorry about not getting the hair right. I see that now. You are too good of an artist to make a 'blunder' like what I THOUGHT it was. Good job

Comment from Zilyram


Very sexy young lady the colour palette is good as the skin tones blended so well contrast against the grey dappled background. Like the expression and the hair blowing around.

Comment from patcelaw


This is very nicely done. I have a question. What kind of brush did you do on the panties? Just one of those questions a fellow artist might ask I suppose. But, as the saying goes, inquiring minds want to know. Patricia
