Her expression is intriguing The young lady apparently proves her outfit and the efficiency of her movements. The indefinite background behind the mirror emphasizes the lady and her reflection efficiently. The colors are intriguing. The portrait is skilfully painted. Proportions and perspective are exact. The shading is flawless. The painting is well composed and framed.

Wonderful artwork showing the reflection and back view of your attractive model. The lines of the work are well managed and the skin tones of the model very natural. Thanks for sharing.

Cool,James!
That's a fine looking painting with a pleasingly Classy look to it,my friend!
The title you've given it has an enjoyable and somewhat Romantic sounding type of 'ring' to it as well! : )

A well thought out creation showing realistic reflection.
Subtle warm illumination casting soft shadows and faint highlights creating gorgeous contours and curves.

Thanks for sharing...

This one is quite charming. I rather like how you have faded the mirror, the figure and the background from light to dark from upper corner to lower opposite corner. This is whimsical and pleasant to view. Reasons for my five star vote.

Hi James, this is another beautiful painting , the pretty blonde haired woman stands looking into her mirror, she appears to be deep in thought. Well created with nice shape and structure, impressive mirror reflection very accurately shown , I like her blue dress with the low cut back. The warm background color and the detail on the mirror frame. Very well created and presented!

I like the pose you chose for this lovely portrait, James, showing the model looking at her reflection in the mirror. I like the soft background. Great use of brushstrokes, colours, light and shade. Lovely oil painting. Suzanne
