Initially looking at, the color, the expresion of the face, and the style it was painted in make it a visually stunning.

Your choice to paint right on this "dirty" wall was definitely a smart one. the palette you chose not only blends with the natural state of the wall, but compliments it as well. I look at it in some places and wonder what is your paint, and what is natural wear and tear.

Looking at the facial expression, it starts to make me wonder what you're trying to convey narratively. She seems to be blending in, or hiding within a garden as she's sitting so still butterflies are landing on her lips. Or, she could be the personification of the garden? Beautiful and fragile? The question makes me look at it more.

In terms of progressing this work, you should remember that, because of its location and subject matter, you're not limited to just paint to get your conceptual point across.
I would LOVE to see it more integrated with the foliage. Obviously its not possible immediately, but what if you allowed vines to grow up the wall over her face a little bit, or since its lower on the wall, had taller shrubs closer to it and allowed it to interact more with the actual nature. Don't be afraid to get off the wall/paper/canvas sometimes

Fun things could happen and take you somewhere new in your art!

You do beautiful work and I wish you the best of luck!

The emotions and colors you capture in your pieces are astounding. Personally, I find myself constantly impressed with your artist style and creativity.

I find myself thinking of clandestineness, innocence, and mixed emotions conveyed on what looks to be a females face when I look at this. The perfectly mold facial features and the *deep* blue sparking eyes in combination with the butterflies and pink colors make me think of innocence or purity. A natural or part of nature effect. Yet, contradictory, the blue tint of the face, along with the butterflies concealing parts of her face, plus the *depth* in her eyes bring out feelings of mystery, sadness, curiosity, hiding, etc. Due to this piece not being finished yet, it will be interesting to see what type of approach you aspire too.

On a side note, using this archaic and weathered wall as your canvas adds a nice touch; bringing back up the idea of being a part of nature, or this face blending in with nature (as in flowers).

Can’t wait to see the finished product, and keep up the good work! There isn't anything that I would change at this point in your process. Hope other people see what I see, and you will appreciate my response.
