Your vision is stunning, as if you can see perfectly where every shape and contour are before you place a single stroke of pigment on the paper.

Your style is so rare to see done so well, and you work nicely with dark and light values so even a black and white image is full of contrast.

You leave room for matting (amen) and you have professional quality in the way you handle the pigment and the paper while applying it.

This piece speaks to me, and many others I am sure. The wisps are pigment representing hair are so free and yet so accurate. Her eyes are rich with emotion and intensity. The way that you interpret the curve in the neck, and the bridge of the nose make me hold my breath every time I inspect them.

You paint because you love it, and I can tell. That is what makes an artist. That is who creates a piece of art. This, my dear, is a work of art- as are many other pieces in your gallery. You are an inspiration.

I dont know much about theory behind art and what one needs to know to give a critique, but when observing this painting, something struck me as it being different...

I initially wondered wheather the eyes needed a more glossy contrast, yet as i contemplated suggesting it, the symmetry of them entranced me, almost as if trying to hypnotize. To me this painting conveys introspection, where she seems to observe you and not I her. I feel a great sense of empathy from her

very nice

I love all your work:) I first saw your videos on youtube and thus discovered Deviantart. You inspired me to spend my Christmas holidays painting with watercolours when otherwise i would have wasted it watching films and surfing facebook:) Thankyou so much! Your art is beautifull. I can only hope I'll one day be able to say I am half as good as you:) xxx

Looks like staff lines from musical scores as the hair.

The fine and equally spaced parallel lines look just like staff!

Almost wish there were a couple of dripping notes, maybe some Requiem( mozart) sliding around up there.

This is quite beautiful. I've had a difficult time deciding which one of your pieces is my favourite, but I would have to say that this is the one. There's something so alluring and yet mysterious about her expression. I love the crispness of her eyes and how perfectly all of the strokes come together. This style is gorgeous.
