Brilliant artwork in oil. It's such a beautiful composition and I love the chocolate burgundy hue domination!! The cellist is captured in an interesting body posture- reflecting in her own world. The artwork has been done with finesse!! The impact is great. Kudos

Your romantic and vintage style painting has great appeal - the low hued tones are striking against the cellists porcelain skin creating an eye pleasing contradiction. Very nice work!

Beautiful, James! I love the red/maroon tones, your light to dark contrasts that create form and mood as well as your trademarked brush stroked oils that add dimension. Beautiful feminine portrayal.

This is a wonderful painting of a woman playing her instrument. The painting technique is lovely and the rich strong dark colors used makes this look mysterious. Great painting. Good luck in the contest

I think I've said this before, I'm not an art critic usually but your artwork really does intrigue me the attention to detail is outstanding. Well done

Awesome work bro. The facial expression is excellent. The details is excellent. The body form and language is excellent. The shading is excellent. The depth is excellent. The creation is well balanced and very eye appealing to the viewer. Creative approach and awesome work overall (clapping)

Really nice expressive artwork in oils on canvas. Nice rendering of the lady/girl, her clothing and hiar. Especially realistic is the instrument. The background is nice too.

    Welcome, artist friend.

James, what I love about this is the pose, the colors and the expression. If the right arm and hand were cleaned up, along with all of the dots (did you use a spray?) this could be a classic. Spend some time in refinement and you will really be great. The talent is there.

Comment from TDtraditionalart


Beautiful piece of art here. Her pose and expression are peaceful, she clearly loves playing that instrument. Her features are well depicted. She nicely placed within the frame. The colours are so beautiful, the earthy tones and the crimson really work well together, great use of colour. Nice depth and textures created in her dress. Well done, thanks for sharing

This musician seems deep in thoughts. Her expression is interesting. She holds her instrument liker a mother would hold a child which was hurt. She looks tired and sad. The dark background emphasizes the mood of the scene. Your attention to realistic detail and shading is impressive. The musician is perfect placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
