Lovely eyes and the sweep across to the right gives a sense of movement somehow. I know what I mean!

A really effective work Satu, lots of lovely areas to scan, all gels so well.

I love the style of this Satu, very delicate and loose and those eyes are mesmerizing.

Wonderfully ethereal and enigmatic portrait. The delicate colours add to the feeling of the piece and it is a very beautiful painting.

Love the delicate air about this piece, Satu. I think you've done a super job - there's something in the portrait that conveys the subject's genteel manner. Lovely work!

Ooops, senor moment LOL. I don't know what happened yesterday, I posted one comment that seemed to have disappeared into space so I posted another and, hey presto, they both then appeared! Oh well it was worth two comments anyway:)

You don't need to do any more, Satu. She is so beautiful with those dark eyes! I love your colours and the unfinished look adding mystery to her somehow. Great!

Senior moments happen to me all the time Val but twice is so much better than none!<br />Thank you Jennifer very much for your kind comment!

This was a challenge I gave to myself. A portrait with light grey background, delicate touch and very few colours. I have been painting and overpainting, the eyes and the ear were in a wrong place and so on. I'm not touching it any more!!
