i love the photo to painting translation! already a great picture, but how you toned it is really amazing. and that plant is so cute, it ads a little bit of graphic flavor i think

This is also great. Love the expression again and your use of tone and shadow in this one. Can you submit more paintings like this it rocks the cazbar!

I like the layers of paint that make up the tones of her face; her tattoo is really cool, and I like her expression. This is something I'd definitely love to have a print of. She seems sort of shy and even vaguely sexual. The background reminds me of asian ink drawings.

Thank you....I think they help to convey emotion. Gives the viewer a little more insight into what she's feeling.

The dominance of blue in the face adds to the already uncertain/pained expression. The colours you have used are perfect.

i think this is fantabulous lol...not a very good word but it is really GREAT, i love the way the blue takes over the face and the expression mixes in so you feel for the person in the painting. awesome blending as well, i love the feel it creates

This is really beautiful, I could never achieve this kind of detail and atmosphere in a painting. It just caught my eye, she looks somewhat sad, pained and deep in thought.
In other words... hey, I love it! +fav:

weee! its the same girl!! (sorry going backwards here ) I think I like this one even more than the last , I love the lighting you have going on, gives a new twist to it and it makes her look ever prettier! I espically like the backround ...very abstract yet realistic at the same time!

Thanks. These are self-portraits that I did. I'm the most accessible model that I have, especially in the summer time...it's hard to find people that will take the time out of their day to pose for you whenever you need them to. lol
