a good piece of art and think the flute is underated as aninstrument,it reminded me of ray thomas of the moody blues who has passed away and was really good on the flute,that aside you have caught the young lady in a good mode of performing,thanks for sharing...Brian

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


A moment of pure stillness, this lifelike painting of a young woman playing the flute captures more than beautyâ€"it captures transcendence. Her eyes, half-lost in a dream, reveal a soul carried away by music. Your gentle realism draws us into her private world, where melody becomes memory. I do not just see herâ€"we hear her, feel her. This is not merely a portrait but a quiet symphony on canvas. Bravo! Here is my 6 for you. Cheers!

A very lovely visual presented here of this young woman playing the flute. Your composition, shades, colors, tones and textures are very well done and presented. I particularly like the dark background which highlight your subject perfectly. Well done.

Honestly, I think this deserves a 6, but I'm all out unfortunately.
This portrait of the flutest is very realistic looking. Your ability to create life like imagery by employing foreshortening is wonderful. The folds in her dress are also very realistic looking because of your ability to use shadowing and light. The tone and muscles of her arms are also very realistic looking. I like the way you have filled the frame with the focal point, and used a dark background to create contrast and make the subject matter stand out.
