What a fabulous palette. I would never have thought to put those colors together, but it works great. And I love the little dragon helping her carry her grapes.

I love using complimentary colors together, it makes the painting look so much more vibrant.

The colors and the details on her clothes and hair are nicely done. Love the tones of orange
Nice work

Wow, I really like this picture. I study classical archaeology and this lady reminds my very much of the acient greek, because her hair and cloth look very hellenistic.
Great job!

Oooh, thanks! She's styled after the Greek-esque statues at Versailles. I think I drove my parents nuts on that vacation--I had to go and take a picture of every single one of them. I'd like to do more in this genre--Alma-Tadema is one of the artists that I worship, and would like to emulate.

It was bought by a family winery in California. I'm pleased as punch, I couldn't imagine a better home for this painting!
