What a beautiful piece. Love how you incorporated the rays of sunlight into the top of her head and outward. Great how you can still see the outline of her hair underneath. Her facial features are amazingly done. Good skin tone. She looks like she is basking in the rays of warmth. Love this! Should be a six..

Lovely work. Great glowing gold reflection from this beautiful woman. She looks like an Egyptian princess. Excellent composition.

Comment from Angelheart The First
She caught my eye immedia-
tely while I was finishing a review.I had a feeling it was your work and I was right.This is just a phenomonal expressive angel portrait with such beautifully done detail.Her face is so lovely and the golden colors that you mainly stayed with truly makes this an exceptional work and is well deserving a six star review.Thank you for the wonderful Sunday morning view!!
Angelheart :)

I uploaded this about 2:15 this morning regarding an Angel...about an hour later Mike Roberts uploaded a painting he also call "Angel". An now my Angel of the review world comes along and provides this Angel with a galaxy of stars. :) I guess this is my way of thanking you a million. I really appreciate it.

OOOHHHH,she is so beautiful and I was proud to give you the six star because you did a remarkable job :)

Comment from Steve Edwards
Hello MW. Very nice image you have managed. This looks like an Egyptian queen.
Lovely gold beams radiating outward from her face. Nice soft pastel skin tone and lighting. Nice job!

Comment from jhillman
Though not quite to my taste this is an extremely attractive image. You have captured every detail and the composition is very good indeed. I particularly like the radiant lines

Well, I thank you for the excellent rating anyway, John.

Comment from CammyCards
Very nice composition and slection of colors. However, her being off center is very distracting. Like the focus on the outer part and the just-off focus on the inner part.

Comment from Roger Hilleboe
I've yet to awaken beside her but each night I dream about it. Excellent treatment of the lips and eye lashes. The radiating gold speaks for itself. Magnificant.

Thank you for the excellent review, Roger. When I first started reading your review, I thought you were begining with a poem. :) Thanks again.

Comment from Neil Brown
I'm not to big on art, (I can not do it, so seldom see it), but I like this.

The face is very serene, and the shimmering emanating out, gives the feeling of power.

Comment from lornesjade
this is lovely, the colours are great and help with the angel story and the composition and lighting are both perfect.I love how her face is a bit off centre
