I like this work because it is so classical in its concept and execution and in its bright colours. The light and shadows and the composition have worked well. Good luck!

I enjoy your painting very much. And I thank you for your excellent artist notes. I like your expression, 'have a conversation with the painting.' I like to paint and will try thinking in those terms when it begins to change in a direction I did not plan.. :D

Your colors are brilliant and saturated deeply. Mixing paints is an art all its own. I like your choices here.

Your details are successfully accomplished without solid lines...proving an artistic hand with your brushes. The same is proven with your treatment of light and shadows on the skin. Well done. And just what is the old master's technique for painting eyes that follow the viewer? You certainly accomplished that.

I like your style of sharp details and vibrant colors and a simple subject that is very well done. Thanks for sharing...and again..thanks for your thorough notes. A pleasure to view.

    Thank you very much for such a detailed review. I have a few more paintings to post before I give it up about the old masters. Just as a suspense thing. In reality, it is incredibly difficult for me to achieve. I don't know if you can find it online. I have not yet found it. I discovered it by studying many, many, many paintings.

Hello,
Good colors. Love the hair . Good detail on the hair an face. The background looks like the sky but acts like a halo around her head.
Good job.

She has my vote for goddess of the year. The eyes have the attention of any one looking at this scene. The natural feel of her skin and that smile is infectious. Surrounded by blue highlights her hair and natural beauty. Well done.

Comment from fotogran


While I accept that all Greek goddesses are probably beautiful, I do question whether they had blonde hair and blue eyes. :-) This is a lovely portrait but it tells me nothing about the subject except that she is beautiful. I do look forward to seeing the rest of the set.
