Solitude (detail)

I like this crop Michael, nothing's fully explained, there is an air of mystery.

I do like the shading which gives fullness to her body, very well done, I also like her soulful expression Michael.

Lovely luscious lips and a great crop Michael. As Marjorie says, a real air of mystery

I love your skin tones...she looks mysteriously beautiful.

Thankyou. Im abit in love with her.

Such good skin tones Michael :)

Thankyou. Its just mainly naples yellow with a hint of yellow ochre and these days i mix a tiny bit of french ultramine into the colour. I use winton.

I have to admit I much prefer this to the previous versions! Your faces are so well painted- something old masterish about them: good palette.

I think the crop concentrates on the emotion which you have expressed so well. I imagine the feeling of solitude must be overwhelming.

Thankyou im extremely shy which is why i am alone alot. Solitude when its constant is quite difficult but i dont consider myself unfortunate in life.
