I throughly enjoy the background and the proportions of the woman are good. The only thing I would change would be her swimsuit. The current hue blends into the shell, making it difficult to distinguish each element. A blended green would really make her pop! Other than that, great craftsmanship.

Very nicely done! I can tell you that oil is not my medium. If I had to go to canvas acrylic for me would be more forgiving. I could not do that if my life depended on it. Extraordinary.

Quite an enjoyable image posted here with interesting
notes! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of your beautiful young woman. Why does she look so sad? Your glare is no problem to me as it looks quite natural! Nicely painted!

What a wonderful interpretation of the old theme. Venus looks so grand in a more tropical setting with a more stylish shell and seen as one of your signature alluring females. Very affecting and creative. Excellent work.

Oh she is just beautiful! Your detail and shading is perfect. I love the colors you used for the sky. The glare is expected and doesn't bother me one bit. This is excellent work jesuel!

Light or no light, her beauty shines through the glare. Beautiful scene of a young lady pondering her future. Her eyes are far away and is wondering where she came from. Creative and so well presented. Her Prince Charming can't be too far away and will rescue her from her deep thoughts of romance and future love.

This is lovely. Great detail. Nicely balanced and presented. The glare you speak of seems to enhance the beautiful sky. You may wish to crop the edges just a bit more. Very beautiful art work.
