Overall
Vision
Originality
Technique
Impact
It's not often I have the pleasure to enjoy a deviation that captures it's descriptor so effectively:
Bountiful, healthy, vibrant, strong, full, soft, well-rounded, warm, mature, plump, voluptuous
The overall impact of this piece beautifully imbibes these qualities into a simple, well-composed work. Admittedly, I was surprised to see such an aesthetically serene piece of work like this one, given the usual nature of some of your works; while the latter is typically whimsical and somewhat boisterous, "Bountiful" is a piece that evokes sense of alluring pleasure and effulgent harmony.
The palette used here is in superb taste; it is soothing, well-chosen and does an adequate job of bringing the whole piece together. The foliage and fruit on the bottom does well to complement rather than clash, it's well-composed and leaves the bottom of the canvas with a good amount of negative space (which IMO, is vital in making this piece so good). I also like the symbolic significance of the grapes and the subject of the titleβ fertility, joyousness and the like. I wonder if that was intentional on your part?
The anatomy of the subject is great. I especially appreciate the detail of the visible collarbone, the angularity of her craned neck and shoulders and the soft, rounded edges of her hand. The only qualm I have is the backside: it looks as if it had to be cut short a bit in order to give this piece the finishing composition that it has. Of course, not being an anatomical expert, I could be off the mark on this one.
Palette and subject features aside, my most favorite part is the line art. It's elegantly slender, I wouldn't be surprised if these were indeed the original pencil lines used for the sketch. My solitary complaint with this one is it's occasionally erratic weight in certain areas; this is the only thing in my opinion which keeps this aspect of the piece from perfection.
Overall, it's magnificent. It captures such a variety of amiable qualities and expresses them oh-so-well. Comforting, beautiful, captivating and even a little Baroque what with the usage of the grape vines and flowers, it is without a doubt in my mind, the latest tour de force of your artistic abilities.

I once did a simular theme where my bunny gir Ally Herman is nude and with vegetables in the background. That's in my gallery, I believe. Check it out!^^

It looks like she has differently shaped boobs.
Aside from that, this is wonderful.
