This is something I would have on my wall. I love the simplicity of colors and am amazed at your use of the medium. You did a fantastic job. The balance and elongated dripping of color is very attractive. Really nice!

Love how yup used the white of the canvas in your composition. Very expressive and great placement of your colors. Love it.

A sensual work. Graphic without being splashy. The subtle colors work well... and the work is classically divided into thirds --- both vertically and horizontally. Well done.

A stunning work. And to me, a total mystery as to what the message is. No matter, I just enjoy looking at it and wondering. Great colors that add to somber ( to me) overall tone. I envy your talent.

Comment from Imaginos
I love the facial expression and the shading of the neck and throat areas. The use of color around the head and neck area give a sense of added dimension. It is as if the muse were leaning forward and out of the picture.

Comment from nature rules
This work shows a very artistic hand. Not only the blend of the colors, but the proportions of the face and the play of light an shadows there and under the chin and the detail of the necklace. It is seemingly a photograph that has been post processed. Very talented work here! Good luck!
