I like the intensity and richness of the colors. The work you have done altering the picture is subtle and not overdone. It enhances the subject in my eyes.

Comment from MinoYasue


I like the shading work on this work, which seems to seem to fit very well for the theme of the work. I also love the expression in her face. The overall impression of the work is soft, but her gaze surely set focal point in the work.

Comment from Mary Ann Woolman


I love teh balance of warm and cool tones here and her brown hair adds the contrast. Catching her expression is masterful.

Comment from ostrich


Your colours in this are very soft and suttle which I like very much. She looks very much like the girl next door. She has a quite confidence in herself not out to prove to much.

Nice color and depth way back to the background. This picture was painted at the perfect condition. I like the highlights. A very pleasing image to look at.

Comment from Clyde B.


This is quite nice James, the pose and prop is good, nice subtle lighting. The skin tones are done well with excellent shading techniques. I like the texture of the paper showing through on this presentation. Nice job!!!

Comment from Iconoclast


James its become so difficult for me to review your work. I'm constantly using the same adjectives to describe it: brilliant technique, engaging subjects, wonderful execution. The folds on the white sheet that your subject modestly clings to in this piece are spot-on.

This is a very spft and touching rendering of this lovely young woman. I love the eyes and the way you imbued them with personality. The soft and subtle colors and shading also add to the mood. Well done!
