That must have been some graphic treasures you created after multiple times of modulations on its textures. The deep tones create the unusual attractive effects.

Very seldom do I give a six on all points of consideration. I feel this piece of speaks volumes without words and the name of it brings into ONENESS OF CREATIVITY in a most beautiful way.

A very striking, interesting piece, Cleo, with a great story. I like the mystery your enhancement and collage has created. Harmonizing, warm colors. Good emotion in the young face. Cat

beautiful and makes you stop to look and keep looking. Use of the hair to bring you in to the painting is excellent. Good color harmony.

    Thank you much but I don't understand what you mean "use of the hear to bring you in the painting". I'm not in there. Please would you tell me what you mean.

Great piece. Framing and shading do work well and stands firmly for the subject. Excellent textures and feel to this one. What a cool presentation?

Comment from PoohBear


Very different and very nice work of art you have posted here. This work does look very old to me and not like something just done. The colors of the work and soft and I guess that's what does make it look older than it really is. Very nice
