Matt Mawson
wonderful—love the colours, especially the hair! Is this your first portrait without showing the face?
Rose Moxon
love it lee
Lee Wilde replied
Thanks Rose :-)
Lee Wilde
Thanks David :-)
Hi Matt….thanks…yeah…I’m pretty sure its the first back view I’ve done. The aim was to do something quick and simple to sell on eBay…however it turned out far better than I expected and now I’m wondering whether to keep it :-))
Scott Ruhs
Lovely tones in this image. I love the contrast of the brilliant red against the over all bluish tint. Shading is fantastic as well.
Lee Wilde replied
Thanks Scott. Yes, the hair definitely makes it :-)

Matt Mawson
Looks like I’m the first bidder for this piece on eBay, Lee.
Lee Wilde replied
Matt…before you bid any higher I should let you know that the painting I’ve listed on eBay is a second version of this painting here in my portfolio. The original Mia (above) is acrylic on stretched canvas. The painting on eBay is acrylic on Arches paper. If you have another look at both images you’ll see the differences. Still pretty good though, I think.
Matt Mawson
Yes, I like them both, Lee.
Peter Coleman
beautiul work, love the shadowing and skin tone in this
Michael James ...

i am actually in love with your work! i’m studying art at the minute at school, and my next project is distortion…i was a bit dubious at first looking at dali and francis bacon etc…i’d never been that keen on them..but just looking through your work kind of reminds me of distortion, especially the linear work.
It’s an inspiration, i hope i can aspire to be half as good as these peices. :)
Louise Cooke

Shadi N. Saber
Amazing work!
Sassafras
I don’t paint but I am strongly attracted to the mystery conveyed by the blck, one and grey and stimulated mentally by that shock of RED hair. Also, her back being turned makes me wonder…what’s on her mind? What is she pondering…
I say Keep her , for now: you can always change your mind about that later on.
Walk in beauty, Lee,
Sassafras
