This really is a likeness of the pianist. However, not of one of the better poses. You did really well in digital art and your lower background is really good. The gaze in both your digital painting, which is just like the one I saw, and in that one are kinda flat, lifeless or more have a gaze of unhappiness and you captured that in my portrait.

    You are welcome, artist friend. You certainly captured a likeness of that particular pose but in both yours and theirs she looks kinda sad, somewhat frail, do you think?
Comment from Daphne Oberon


I haven't looked up the Mona Lisa to compare, but what immediately jumped out at me was whether this might be a version on the Mona Lisa ... Hmmm, I just looked up the Mona Lisa and i like this better... Your subject's pose looks less contrived, has deeply soulful -- almost occult, enigmatic eyes, and is brighter. This is Cleo's improvement on the Mona Lisa.... My admiration!

    I did not think about the Mona Lisa, I just thought about the famous musician she was, while painting her portrait! :o

Wow again a super presentation you placed when I was blocked outside, so I can congratulate you for reaching all time the best moment which is really well deserved as this lady looks like a picture and that means your artistic creation is more than perfect, just even professional - super angle and position choice - excellent color choice and application, super light and contrast applications and a fantastic result - Kudos and congratulations

This is a beautiful painting!! Your technique is great, you achieved nice depth with your attention to detail and shading. The muted colours nicely represent an aged piece of art work. Nicely done, thanks for sharing

This is so impressive! I actually looked this pianist up and saw the image you used for reference, you are spot on here , your rendition is beautiful ! She is a lovely woman with such a graceful look . This is so accurate, it looks like an old photograph that has been colored . Very well arranged with perfect use of color and light Cleo! Beautifully presented!

A beautiful lady with her face expressing coyness. You have brought out her delicate features very well. The colours used are natural and this is a pleasing portrait. Well done!

My friend you did an outstanding job with this portrait it's really gorgeous. She looks like she's from the 20s. Outstanding work on the face the eyes he looks so alive. The composition is wonderful. I really wish I had a six left to give you even though this is like 20. I am not sure what you would call this expression but it's really lovely it reminds me a little bit of the Mona Lisa. Outstanding work my friend

Comment from JirinaInspire


Cleo, this absolutely beautiful portrait with such skilled presentation. Everything is just so pleasing.
In terms of expression on this young lady face, I think she kind of perplexed with the lifestyle, maybe little sad of what is expected from her and not knowing how to approach it. Mesmerized?
However still hopeful and kind, the eyes are showing love and piece.
Thank you for sharing.

Cleo, this is that renown pianist and composer and a member of a very musical family. Nice portrait. I personally like to draw from life when I do a portrait, so I understand your bane. You have done a nice job catching her features. Ray G.
