Everything is so colorful! The dress' shading and blending is nice, and the style is cool. I like that you still have a moody feel to your piece without all the dark coloring in muted greens.
I don't think I ever told you this, because at the time you were going for a more realistic approach to anatomy, but I've always liked the way you drew eyes. The problem at the time was that, while pretty, they were too big and out of proportion, and you wanted to at least be able to paint eyes 'correctly'. What I liked was your 'big' eyes never looked cute. Pretty, calculating, knowing, Mature: that's what I felt they were like. Nice juxtaposition to what is generally thought a female with large eyes entails.
I think I read that your going to showcase this somewhere? That's splendid, I was actually walking by some galleries today thinking about you, and I think this would fit in nicely with some of the exhibits.
Congrats on a beautiful job with the oils. Can't wait for the next!
