Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I of course, can see many areas that could be improved or learned from for further pieces. And I would also love to hear any constructive criticism as well. Cheers.

I like the use of color, balance of image and sense of movement - you gave a very just treatment of the photograph. Also, this is very, very well executed. I could only hope to paint this well some far off day. Keep up the great work!
I don't like as much the "breakup" around the lower half of her face - I see where you were going with it, and it's a great idea - but with all the realism in the rest of the fabric and skin folds, hair and so on, the disintegration seems just too regular for me. In my mind, people don't shatter and crumble so smoothly, odd as it is to think about.

Truly astounding! At first I thought the thumbnail was a photograph but then I blew it up and saw that wondrous particle red hair and was blown away. The blending of the oils is flawless and really shows off the subtle blues and pinks that go into a very ivory complexion. But the hair is breath-taking. I just love how it breaks so naturally and with such style...like petals blowing away.

Am I believing my eyes. I thought this was a digital work with lots of effects and maybe two or three programs used until ... I realised it was an oil painting. All I can is that you're ... a legend ...

Never tried. I kind of like the idea of getting away from the computer. However I do use it to plan my pieces and sometimes half way through I might photograph and experiment with variations on computer before committing with the brush.
