I like the fish, Piety--assuming that this is a one-of-a-kind painting. I would agree that they were too much if you did this on all your paintings! But you do not, and I find this a very interesting exploration. It is lovely.

Jan, Thank you for your replying.
I did it just once for this painting. I may be try more this scratching later. But I think I have to consider more that those scratchings are overwhelming the original painting when I would like to do it next time.
But I'm busy for the other experiments for now .

I don't like th fish! I am coming from a perspective of realism.
I feel the fish on the shirt is sufficient. I just feel the other is distracting.
But, then this is not my interpretation, its yours, and I feel you have the right to interpret it your way, that's what makes it yours.
You have done a beautiful job! Would love to see this one up close, I might even change my mind then about the fish.

Hello, Mark!
Thank you very much for your short and direct comment. I was laughing while I was reading it because I liked it.
But, I still like the fishes because it's mine.

Hi Piety--
I am seeing this for the first time today (I always forget to log in to the critiques area!) Gotta say, I rather like those fish! (except maybe the one that comes over her face. . .  ) Combined with the expression on the faces, they give the painting a sort of surreal, otherworldliness, as if the people are behind a veil or in some other state of consciousness. It creates an intriguing mood to the piece.

I think this is BRILLIANT!
If you posted it in any other art forum besides portraiture I would bet others would agree.
It is just breathtaking, you have quite a future!
