This is a truly beautiful portrait of a Mayan woman praying, and I especially like the close and personal approach. I also like all the fine textures, and the good attention to all the small details. I like that this is done in monochrome colors.

The brush work is bold but accurate, and you have used the high lights so well.

The format and tight framing is perfect, and the woman has got such a fine placement on the canvas. This is a truly lovely and well done digital painting Cleo.

A beautiful painting that captures the serenity of the lady in prayer. I like this close up profile that emphasizes her facial features quite beautifully.

Such beautiful expression of prayer in front and the strokes in the digital art program are so much like some expressionist work I've seen. The seemingly intentional marks on the neck add natural benefits.

This woman's skin texture is the best feature of this fine pieces. A beautiful painting with lots of character. Is she supposed ot be exhaling vapors, or are they swirling around her? That was the confusing part to me.

This work of digital are speaks volumes. The course textures bely the soft silence that this woman is experiencing as she prayed without words. The black and white rendering is perfect for observing what is taking place in this moment. Very well done Cleo ~ Steve

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable portrait view of that religious woman. Shades, textures and tones are good. Nicely created!
