this is a beautiful piece and the idea and use of shape within are original. saying that i dont think that the large amount of colour below the neck work..as i think they distract from the beautiful depiction of the face and the emotions captured there. i enjoy your work but on this occasion i feel that less is more. I can see that you want to add more to enhance this portrait and maybe that is what you went for, so instead of concentrating on the emotions that the model is conveying, we are draw to the colour and shapes within and what this means.this is of course just my opinion and may be completely wrong. i think its a beautiful piece and look for ward to more...R

This is beautiful. I can never applaude you enough. The resemblence of the night sky that drifts across her face is so subtle that it creates a massive impact. Although, I love the slight curls of her hair, as if they just rest on her head without a care in the world, because the detailed design in the centre of her body seems to be the obvious main focus here. The texture seems to reiterate her facial expression: as if she is lost, and there is nothing she can do, almost just wondering now, like the open sky/space is. It's magical in some way and I love it. Well done!

I love this! I instantly recognized the shadow as a human, a man, and although I see that normally his proportions would be wrong, his shadow would be slightly morphed because the woman is not a flat surface. This painting seems to be about a destructive relationship between a couple or domestic violence, as the shadow's pose seems quite imposing and intimidating and her expression seems fearful.

I just love what you're doing with the shapes and the colours, and the fact that you have a real talent for this. Keep up the good work!

I like it. It reminds me of broken, decaying wall plaster, with layers of different colors.

The reason the blue form doesn't read as a human is because the contrast between the shadow cast on the clothes and the shadow cast on the skin is very high, an effect only amplified by the comparatively low contrast between the parts of the face in and out of shadow. The way the shadow's head is broken up by the shape of her neck and shoulders could also be a contributing factor. I wonder how this could be 'fixed', or even if it needs to be. The more I look, the more I come to appreciate the combination of the subtle shadow on her face, the expression in her eyes, and the deep, deep blue of the abyss.

Very cool painting. I love the addition of the geometric shapes at the bottom; it definitely adds to the constellation impression.
