Clayton,
This is beautiful! It is very well executed but looks like it was painted without effort. Wow!

Clayton,

What music in paint! Beyond visual, this is aural in its richness of execution. A pleasure to imbibe. What were you playing in your head as you painted?

Garth

Wonderful! I like the swiftness with which you have painted it; the richness of the colours and the way the portrait is connected with the background. Because you asked for an opinion I feel free to say I would take another look at the edge of the face on the shadow side, maybe it is a bit to hard? Otherwise only compliments!

Thanks Bianca. It nice to get constructive criticism. I'll consider it carefully.
