Rejected by Satu Vartiainen

Bold and imaginative Satu. A real eye-catcher.

This is inspired. It has your distinctive use of colours and composition. Brilliant.

What a stunning piece this grew into Great colour and light Satu

Impressive work, Satu!

This is great, Satu. Very strong shapes and colours.

Satu i have looked at this for quite a while. And I just feel that the bright white behind the leg snatches a way something from the overall painting. It's a very strong focal point thats why I feel its a distraction from the overall image. Otherwise its a good painting well balanced, great paint marks. Just one point of view others may differ.

Thank you so much Jim, Gudrun, Dennis, Cesare, Mia and John for your lovely comments, I appreciate them a lot. John, the white patch is not as white in reality as it seems to be in the photo but I'll have another look anyway. Thank you for taking time to point it out, it's important to have positive criticism and help too.

Lovely stuff Satu.

Thank you Henry

Satu, I marvel at your uniqueness.....always something different and original.

Love the use of blue in the composition Satu.
