Critique by ~CriticalBee Feb 26, 2012, 10:00:37 AM

This is masterful. Overwhelmingly beautiful, powerful, terrific, splendid, excellent, unique and plain PERFECT work. I feel I have said everything there is to say, but, alas!, the word minimum forces me to bore the reader of this critique, so bear with me...

The few colors employed are wonderfully expressive and chosen masterfully to match the emotions depicted. The textures are beautifully portrayed, every last detail seems to have been a labor of love. The drip, used very frequently by agnes-cecile, gains new meaning here. The girl's eyes speak tomes --- and beg for more: who is this girl? What is her story?

There is a subtle beauty here, a wonderful certain something that evokes much more than the plain painting and pulls us into a new world. That, I believe, is art. I thank you for it.

What do you think?

While I am not an art critic, I do know what catches my eye, my fancy, and my heart. You've accomplished all three in this piece. I am immediately drawn to the eyes - exquisite detail and clarity. This is at once a very haunting piece and a very emotional piece - I am inextricably drawn to it. There is a suggestion of pain, perhaps suffering or abuse, and the strong will to fight back, resist, and overcome. There is absolutely nothing I would suggest changing or trying to improve upon with this - I love it as is, and will be adding it to my collection shortly. Very well done!!

Sort of reminds me of Milt Kobayashi's work. Really nice.

dear Cecil, Hello!
I'm from Russia, Сибирихудожник, I was already 60 years old,
and I accidentally saw Your wonderful watercolor
and was very glad that you have saved and use
these skills are very complex equipment and paint.
Thanks You have a soul and hot heartbeat,
сбергите this state and do not go away in the
terrible avant-garde, although watercolor this and not allow it.
May God give You health, creative successes
and of course endless inspiration!
With great respect Victor.

_{I am not an art critic, nor do i have any experience in traditional art, but these can't stop me from expressing my feelings about this picture. This is one of those works that you look at and only after a while you realize that you didn't even blink while admiring it.

From all your artworks, this is definitely in my top 3, not only because it resonates with me, but because it spreads pure emotion through its amazing details. It's that mix between submission and determination, vulnerability and strenght to look the problem in the eye that make it so special.

You have this gift that lets the viewers interpret your works and resonate with them, even though they may not think/feel the same you did when you painted it. For me, the eyes are the pure source of emotion for this piece, once you look at them you are completely drawn into her mood; perhaps it's just me, but as i said before, i can almost feel the pain and the will to overcome it in her eyes.

This is a great piece, Silvia, one of your best, if you ask me!
Great job}
