I can see that it is a very realistic painting, one thing is to put a shadow from the upper eye lid, on the eye itself, even if you don't see it will bring out a sense of realism and depth to the eyes

    it's a shadow from the upper eyelids, for some reason it gives the whole picture realism.

    Thank you very much for your six star vote and for your comments. It has taken be a few years to develop the skill to make the eyes seem to follow you around the room when you look at the painting. It is always a pleasure when someone else sees it to.

This is a great piece of work and I can definitely see a great artist with a lot of talent. The colors are great and I can just imagine what the other ones would look like. To me this is really great work and thank you for sharing this and I looked at your profile and you seem to be a very busy person and by the way thanks for your service from one vet to another.

    Thank you for your five star vote and your comments. And, thank you for yours also. Kind of wish that the young adults today understood what it means to put on a uniform with the purpose of protecting this country.

This is a very striking portrait. Beautiful eyes that look right into you, the blue background helps to enforce the eyes.Very natural colors in the skin tones and lovely golden locks with excellent detail. Good luck!

She looks a bit chunky for a goddess of the sky. Her features are are attractive though and the color palette is richly saturated. Very nice penetrating eyes.

Oh this is very well done Carl. You definitely achieved what you were attempting to create. That look is mesmerizing. Actually she looks very similar to friend of mine. I actually thought it was her for an instant. Great work here Carl. Kudos ~ Steve

Hi Carl

This is a wonderful masterpiece The blonde locks are angelic thanks to the halo-like effect around her head. Exceptional rendering of light not to talk of your expert handling of the skin tones! Good luck in the contest. R

    Thank you for your five vote and your comments. Yes, I intended to make the sky give a halo-like effect with the multicolored shading. After all, she is the mythical Greek goddess of the sky.
