Comment from Ray Gordon
James your lighting problem went away. Phew, I see hands and feet, very nice and delicate. The composition works well, shadows are believable and not overpowering. The portrait is really good, but I think your model needs a tissue. Very nicely done. Ray

James, I never stopped liking your work. If you remember I have been telling you to get proper lighting so you can photograph your work properly, it has been many months. You are a premier artist and I am sure you see the difference. I am always looking out for your best interest. Ray

Nice wings, full of movenent. Your lady angel looking coy in expression is well done. I like very much your muted pallet with a good shading in the white variances.

As always you get the beauty and the colours perfectly well for a pastel painting. The angel looks so inviting. Fine effort. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King
She sure does, that is, meets with approval. The wings are in a different shape, especially the tall closer one, yet fine; the skin is fine; the position is fine and the background is lovely as well. This is a fine oil painting on wood, artist friend.

Comment from Lynnmarie2
For just getting back into oils I think it's a wonderful job. I did oil painting for many years prior to switching to Pencil, then to digital art. Painting oil on wood can be changing as the wood, if not properly prepared can soak up lots of the colors in the paint. The detail is great as well. Pat yourself on the back and keep up the good work!

Comment from FBI GUY
The crouching position is interesting and very effective in getting the whole scene in a very compacted space. The use of shading and some shadows gives tremendous DOF. The light-streaked background suggests depth in back of the angel. Nice work.

Your work never ceases to amaze me. It just gets better and better. The flow of your strokes on this piece is fantastic. Her shading and tones on her legs are phenomenal. Absolutely excellent work.
