I wish I had a 6 to give you on this one. I love the soft colors that all harmonize well together. The way she is posed looking down, she is deep in thought. The skin tones are well done. It's an overall really good artwork.

Hi James thanks for sharing this beautiful painting of the young lady in a moment of reflection. love your work James. your delightful subject is such an eye catching woman as she kneels on the soft blanketing beneath her.. you have rendered her superbly and I truly admire your ability to define shape and great tone into her body.. Love the expression you have captured on her well defined face. excellent detail really brings her character alive as she kneels there in her moment of reflection. that perception is evident by the clever use of finer detail in her facial features.. Her lips are nicely pouted . and are big and full which adds to her sensual appeal. Her eyes are well rendered and the shadowing above them offers further structural beauty seen in her face. Her brows are well shaped giving her a most attractive appeal. and I admire the excellent use of shadowing an highlights used to define her nasal area and her cheeks.. She has a well defined jaw line and the hair borders her pretty face perfectly. You have done a marvelous job rendering her flowing golden locks of hair.. great textural value giving it a full and bouny effect as it hangs loosely around her shoulders and down her back. the brush strokes are excellent.. the varying hues used to colour her blonde hair work brilliantly with highlights and darker hues .. adds to her already beautiful appeal. Love the structure of her chest and breasts. beautifully rendered showing just the right amount of cleavage to give her further sexual appeal. Her arm and shoulder are well shaped. with good muscle tone visible.. love the shading on her flesh , used on her arms and legs and torso.. the darker hue creates good feeling of depth and 3 dimensional effect which works beautifully. Her partially exposed buttox is a lovely touch.. giving her such sexy emotion, yet not really showing off too much of her body. just a great inclusion .. love how her apparel just drapes neatly over that superb body.. as it flows down her back towards her buttocks and sits nicely over her frontal area.. suggestive but delightfully arranged.. her legs are nicely shaped and show they are well muscled and shapely.. such long legs that expand her beautiful traits well. the positioning of both her hands is effective. her hand near her face gives her a thoughtful disposition s she quietly sits with eyes closed and an expression of deep thought written within her facial features. Love the colours used.. her blonde hair contrasts perfectly against that redish toned sensual dress she is wearing. just a brief showing of her 'g string' .. an added point of interest to draw my attention to her well shaped curvaceous body.. Love he colour of her dress.. It shows off her blonde hair well an her pale reflective face.. excellent lighting used to accentuate her beauty both in her face, and upper body.. The white shading behind her leaves space for the imagination to fire away. perhaps a pillow.. or part of her blanket upon which she sits. - or kneels ..
the white lacy effect of the mat is interesting in textural value .. and the colour white works well as a contrasting hue against her red dress and the deep darker background. she really pops as she kneels before that dark blackish backdrop. thank you for sharing this stunning young lady James. your beautiful women rendered for us to enjoy are stunning . are they models or do these ladies just appear in your mind's eye and hence then find their way onto your pastel boards.. Excellent detail, giving the lady the most peaceful and reflective emotion, which seems to harmonize well within the surroundings of your scene. the dark background was an awesome choice. . Thanks for sharing James.. it has been an absolute joy to review your great work. . cheers mel sorry I have not one 6 I can send your way.. she is so worthy of such a good rating .. cheers again.

Comment from ArtistCharles


I think I like this one better than the other similar image. Nicely drawn with a hint of sensuality but not blatant. Nice mood in the images. Good details. Well sen and well executed.

What a beautiful piece of art that is both delicate and sexy. The detail is incredible in the form of this woman and her remarkable shading and pose. You truly have a talent with the feminine form
and each work I see is beautiful and elegantly portrayed. Classy and seductive work.
