Comment from Goya
Very impacting work.
Yet, I would like to see the composition of it a bit different.
And also, I think for watercolors, you've put too much layers, it's not transparent enough.

Cheers.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Comment from Papa
Deborah Ann, I enjoy this site so very much when it offers the opportunity to see and comment on works like this one of yours. This painting is very moving, making me feel calm and peaceful. I would love to have even a copy to see while I am at prayer, or trying to meditate. How very much I would love to see the original work. The perspective you have chosen is imaginative and creative. This work has impressed me more than anything I have seen on this site. I say these things even though all I see is an image on my screen of a photograph. Oh, I would love to see the actual painting.
Peace, Papa

Comment from Casteel
This is an excellent painting, it looks like a slightly blurry photograph. The colors are perfect to contrast yet blend in nicely. I am impressed with the turnout of your picture. :)

simpledlte, this really is a quite stunning piece of work. The Shepard is very moving as he bows his head to pray. I also like your bio. It is as interesting as your art.

I have a really shoddy camera, and I am not good with digital imaging processors. Thanks for the review!

Comment from Tracymax
a story teller image. Is she disperate? Or is she sick? There're alot of questions coming up to my mind looking at it.
I think that should be the purpose of any piece of art. congrats.
