    I like that you even thought of the spots on the legs… and the baldness…
    The emptiness and the boringness of the room are well felt… the birds flying away form the patient reminds her of her lost freedom.
    The wheels or her chair are “bigger than nature” but this makes it makes the wheelchair take even more place in her lonesome life.
    And I also like the way you painted the walls… you are good at what you do… :)
    Great.

    your choice of colors is also very interesting … the room and even the chair look warm and colorful, but she looks cold. very well told story, excellent composition.

    thanks judith, was just what I was after – using warm colours but giving a sense of coldness, thanks for seeing!
