well done!!! great work!

Fantastic image, you’re spot on with this wonderful comp you have a wonderful talent Shan.

thankyou for such a wonderful comment :)

Very textural work with a real atmosphere attached to it ! Very nice work !

The look on the child’s face says it all .. a good social comment. Good painting too, of course :)

I appreciate your comments, its great to get feedback! Thanks for the favourite blyhart!

Awesome… its brilliant! I love how you have used the different mediums to work against each other in order to provide the division, and how it all just works so well!

thank you for all your kind comments melodious… its very encouraging!

I really like the colors in this one. Sets a wonderful mood. Really great work.

this is really great, agree with Blythart, the face does say it all.. you’ve created such a palpable atmosphere of desolation with this one, the way the darkness encrouches on the girl and the way the poster shines so brightly down on her from up on the wall. well done

thanks for your time and comment msdiddles. You leave fantastic comments!

Fantastic Shan. I really like the illumination from the poster and the way you’ve handled and blended all the different media in to a cohesive piece. All to often mixed media pieces tend to become ‘overblown’ to the point that the media become more the feature and the image becomes more a secondry element.

thanks Hugh! i did try to get it to blend together well. thanks for your comment

Well, art is healing, and who knows, perhaps, at some point, art will heal the scars incurred, from racism and poverty. Well-executed.

Supurb painting ….........

what a fantastic image…I love the style you have used here…to create this… has an aged feel to it…. as if from that era….. I think that children even today still gaze at media images that they can aspire to but never obtain.

wow… how did i miss this piece?!? it’s absolutely beautiful! love the mood of this piece, and the lil’ girl’s facial… not to mention that i love louis armstrong’s music =]!

Stunning art work, very moving subject matter

Just lovely … such wonderful detail!
