Lucy by Satu Vartiainen

This is so much more than a portrait Satu! Your recent journey into abstraction is showing through, it's great and I look forward to seeing the second one.

Really like this Satu!

This glows on the gallery. The golden touch to her face with the blue, textured background work so well. Another winner Satu!

Fab, I do admire you for always producing something so different!

Thank you so much Christine, Sarah, Avril and Louise for the lovely comments!

Those wonderful colours of yours again Satu. Would do well as a stained glass window. Lovely.

This is brilliant, Satu! I love your interpretation and your rendering of the subject - you infuse so much depth and interest into what would otherwise be an ordinary portrait. It's superb!

Thank you very much Sharon and Seok for your encouraging comments, much appreciated!

Your work is always to inventive and interesting. This is a great portrait with superb use of colour to describe the face. I also love the way the blue of the background is incorporated into the face making a great link. Well done indeed!

Thank you very much Thea for your kind words!

Nice work Satu!, catching up on the gallery after a nasty 24 hour bug thing!!

Thank you Debs! Sorry to hear about the bug, they can be really horrible. Hope that you are feeling better now! Take care!

This has a wonderful glow about it. Excellent. I love the colours and the brush strokes.

Thank you very much Gudrun!
