Very subtle and beautiful.<br />I love to study the way you use color, it is really wonderful.<br />I love your portrait you have on etsy of Shante. There is a lovely warm spot on her eye lid that is so delicate and beautiful.<br />Well, I could go on-and-on!<br />All the best to you!<br />HettyFizzBrushHettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363650832091035923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504038576279241872.post-65024488035789672662010-03-17T17:02:19.202-04:002010-03-17T17:02:19.202-04:00Hi there . the wing' was the first thing I not...Hi there . the wing' was the first thing I noticed.

I really like the texture and how its developing!

In general I like paintings that don't hit you over the head with everything at once - I like seeing something new or different every time you look at it.<br /><br />while I do plan on adding more color - I am glad you like the limited palette, and will definitly keep it going in that direction.<br /><br />Awesome...thank you both!Krystyna81https://www.blogger.com/profile/15511024163507167473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504038576279241872.post-48271614685111955492010-03-16T13:22:09.438-04:002010-03-16T13:22:09.438-04:00Brilliant!

I really like your use of a limited palette. <br /><br />I'd keep the wing reference subtle - as if the figure is growing and changing before the viewer's eyes. I also think it's more rewarding for the viewer if their eye discovers a hint you've hidden in a painting as opposed to having a metaphor/allegory or such like handed to them on a plate. Subtlety and suggestive narratives are very engaging and will keep a person looking for a long time, searching, thinking, imagining...and, ultimately, enjoying the experience :o)<br /><br />Good luck! I'm excited to see where you'll go with it.Caroline Peña Brayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518853222220324027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504038576279241872.post-62019105134887745402010-03-16T12:45:02.716-04:002010-03-16T12:45:02.716-04:00Totally gorgeous.

But I don't think the pillow needs a lot more emphasis--if anything, maybe just defining it a little more with shadowing on & around it?<br /><br />The butterflies are really cool.<br /><br />(BTW, clicked on @dpringle's link on Twitter.)C.
