It is said that the Cello is a resemblance of the female body. Seeing your painted I believe that this saying is right. The curves seem indeed similar. Your painting is well composed and rendered. Your attention to exact detail is impressive. Perspective and proportions are correct. How you painted the light is exquisite. The light emphasizes the solemn face and the body of the musician excellently. Her expression is striking. She seems to hear the music in her mind. The musician is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

An unusual artwork you have created! The colors are so soft with an almost abstract air of feeling and symbolism. The serenity on her face is pleasing to view. Your talent has given us a wonderful view, thanks for sharing!

Good composition of this lovely lady. She poses in the nude as she prepares to play her instrument showing the viewer the silence of music. The attention to details of the facial features, hair and the body are very well done.
Wonderful tone and colors throughout. Love the black background emphasizing the figure.
Pleasing to view.

Love the way the lighting illuminates her beautiful face and accentuates her feminine curves. she has such an elegant and refined beauty about her;her closed eyes make me wonder what she is thinking,perhaps she is enjoying the peace and serenity that her music has brought her.

Beautiful pastel painting of the women musician. The light shining on her face is beautiful. Beautiful details and suitable dark background. The posture of the woman very realistic and pleasing to view.

Quite a scintillating pastel work my friend. I love the pose and the way you have played around with light and shadows to enhance her beauty. Well done!

Comment from alaskapat


Very sultry cellist , she stands nude with the cello in front of her, her head is turned to the side, she is beautiful and classy in her appearance with her hair neatly brushed back off her face and fastened into a bun . Well created with good shape and structure , she has a beautiful face and a perfect body. I like very much the way you show the light band shadows here. This is beautiful work, well presented!

A very elegantly almost classical rendition. A beautiful lady with musical instrument, I think a cello. I like your colour pallet. The details are attractively presented. The figure is good proportional and correct in dimension. It is pleasing to view making an attractive artpiece overall.
