I think that you have done a wonderful job on this one, and perhaps it is my favorite of yours to date. I am so sad I'm out of 6's. The composition is nicely framed with the position of the girl and the piano. I'm glad that she is taking a break and having a glass of champagne. The skin tones are great and she is well proportioned and well drawn. Nice background color choice as it harmonizes with the subject and her dress goes with the tones of the piano. I do love the shine on the piano. It's a really lovely artwork for sure.

James this is incredibly beautiful and so so elegant.
The lady you painted has a very classy appeal and the wonderful detail in her dress and background piano is just
magnificent. I love her subtle expression as she goes to sip her champagne. Really a beautiful work of art.

Very well created with awesome detail throughout, the lovely lady sits at the piano but is turned away from the keys, she is holding a glass of champagne, I like her patterned dress, her blond hair , her facial features and proportions, the necklace she wears, the light coming from behind her and the piano , all very well applied, with great choices of color and arrangement! Very nice work!

Such a wonderful piece.
Love the light source behind her head.
Your piano player is beautiful, great detail in her dress and necklace.
That piano is well done, the texture in your stokes just makes it look so cool.
Everything pops against the black.
That wine glass is so lifelike, that is hard to due.
Great job, thanks for sharing. ;o)

Seems to have a charcoal effect to it, interesting, she looks a bit rugged and the piano also looks used a number of times. Her eyes reveal some sort of thoughts like " I have been here before." thanks for sharing

Lovely pastel work. The detail you have is excellent as well as the shading. The champagne looks good enough to drink. Thanks for sharing. Susan

Comment from Neilnap773


A nice piece , quite eye catching through the palette used.I'm aware that pastels are a nightmare to work with and I don't touch them to be honest unless sketching a plan of a painting and then I use pan pastels.The only criticisms I have of this piece is the structure and shaping of the keyboard..it has no depth to it unlike the woman..however its a good attempt
