Your so talented Jess, and your output is prolific!
Beautiful lighting & mood.

Unreal I love this art work the colour ,light, mood everything magic art ! you have a great talent Jessica I admire your work so much!

Got me thinking of the Sepoys of British India.

Thanks a bunch everyone…it’s my first effort with oil paints and the process of it certainly has me hooked…

Hi Jessica, wonderful portrait and the lighting is superb.!
..Glad to hear you are getting into oils, there’s a special feel and glow to get with them;)

Thanks Shanina, yes they are certainly addictive

Amazing green you’ve got happening here Jessica. And for a first oil painting its pretty damn good. Is that a mirror behind the subject. If it is I like it even more. Cheers

Ahh yes it is I’ve just had a closer look. Very nice.

Oils are such a great medium Jessica, it’s hard to go back to acrylics after oil.

You can do so much more, but they take forever to bloody dry! hehe

I haven’t worked with oils for years, your piece may just have inspired me to do so.

Beautiful, great mood, such a natural pose, relaxed and at home. Cliff is right, I totally agree with everything he said.

Wow Jessica, this is your first effort with oils? Would love to see more

I like it too! The way you’ve captured the light is very skillful. Looks like oils work well for, just think of the possibilities!!!!!!

Gosh, Jessica, this is amazing! It’s really fantastic – so well composed and executed. Great textures and movement in the way you apply the colours.

This is FAB!!! I kind of feel like it was painted 40 years ago…it’s got that feel to it :)

It does have an old style feel to it. Perhaps it’s the colours? Great mood and an awesome piece!

What can I add? Just love it.

Happiness is a cool palette!
Love the mood you have created here Jessica and the fact you can switch from camera to paint so easily!

Your comments are all so motivating and supportive…thanks so much to everyone for your kind comments…x

Wow….This is Art Gallery worthy…You know what I mean…Amazing colours and light.

Agree with Melody about the Gallery! Amazing work Jessica!

Superb! The figures and light is fantastic; love everything about this piece.

Haha, thanks Melody and Paul, that’s a real compliment, maybe one day in the future…in the meantime i have a lot of learning and practise to catch up on…x
