This is a very compelling composition. I wish I could see the colours in real life.

It's hard to get good photos of paintings. I have found that if I set my painting up in the brightest room in my place on a sunny day I don't need to use flash and the colours turn out pretty close to normal.

...amazing work, my dearest Allen...gorgous painting
sorry I couldn' comment earlier
what a work,what prefection,what performance!exceptional details on the Kimono,all those flowers and drapery.,her sword.....very realistic looking, the texture of her kimono...wonderful contrast beween the red and the dark background,enlightened so clever with the sunraise(?)sunset(?),this is a question of interpretation,I suppose,as one can interrogate if the man is leaving or coming,myself,as optimistic viewer(lol)would say that he is coming...she is expecting him,in opening her kimono,she was alone,and had to defend herself with the sword he left her, during his absence.he is there now,that is all that counts,behind him the sun in the sky seeming like burning fire,maybe his ardent Love and desire for her,and her's for him,as she is looking towards him.She,in the dark,but looking so bright,by the fact she is seeing him,and at the same time ,as he is seeing her.One is the "light"and brightness "to the other.I can feel lots of Love and passion here;much serenity as well.
I also find the trees in the background very beautiful.Seems there are also some personnages,maybe solders, arround there.
The gateway door magnificiant.Seeming not only beautiful,but solid.4 piles arround..;symbolic to me for "house"(home)....
Congratulations ,my Dearest,I really like it!:iconirbheartplz:

...you are more than welcome,my dear Allen,it is always a true pleaseure to watch at your sublimate work.
It is indeed stunning what you are saying about the the divergence of interpretation of woman and men.Maybe woman are more "naturally positive"(lol),but that again dependends on each speciman.
What is fascinating in a painting,is,that one has the liberty of opinion and interpretation,and that is only possible,if the artwork is "speaking",emotionally in any way,what is certainly the case of your artwork,it talks with your heart...
Have a splendid end of the week,my sweet friend...

I think I did get some emotional aspect with this work however as many traditional work I think it speaks louder when viewed in person. Photography does not capture mood or feelings very well I have found.
Thank you very much again Dear Flori, I hope the remainder of your week is wonderful as well.

...I can imagine,that it would be worth to see this work in person,I wish I could ,in general you can recieve better emotions ect.But I can promise you,even on a photographie of your artwork,I can "read"perfectly the emotional...

Thanks for the critique very much appreciated. I think in hindsight you are correct some deep blue would have worked well.

This is absolutely wonderful, Allen! The folds and the shadows in the cape, not to mention the little details are amazing!
