Thats a very nice painting, even with the sadness on her face…

poetic, artistic and fabulous!

Lovely colours used. She probably has a right to look sad. Nice free brush strokes. Thank your for your comments on my work they are much appreciated.

lovely….and even more lovely is the cause…....truly a heartfelt piece…...question why didn’t you bring the body to the end of the canvas…..i just speaking my mind ….i feel a little uncomfortable with it just floating….just my opinion….i love the piece though…no doubts about…..lovely wen….

yea i was putting my 2cents…...this is a place for us together in help each other get better in what we do ….and i don’t want to be like everybody and sugarcoat things when to me i see something that can make this beautiful piece…....really magnificent…...so i had to say something besides
beautiful
wonderful
lovely
i had to really speak my mind…..but you know i love it….it was just a thought….

this is great i love it … probably if the figure did go to the bottom it would just complete this a little more … still a beautiful painting well done

Beautifully done, you have captured the colour of Africa and poignancy in the subject superbly :-)
