ART CRITIQUE

Piece name: Can't Let Go
Artist: DestinyBlue
Negative:
This one has really stumped me the only thing and it's the only thing is all the other balloons look like they attached to a piece of barbed wire but one isn't and it's in the foreground only way I feel this can be counteracted is if there was a purpose for it to not be attached to, like a piece of barbed wire hanging down her back or it being detached from the balloon but still upright.
Positive:
Once again variety in the face always good to see, lovely glow, bold colours, lots of detail well drawn, well thought out too. The details in this give me lots of pleasure the hair detail is exquisite, the fuzziness of out of focus, the bleeding light almost like liquid!, the background pitted bits or like embossed bits if that makes sense lovely extras all needing to be there!, I notice that she has a few scratched not lots just a few which is perfect too many would be too obvious to few you lose the effect spot on amount! I didn't notice them at first I feel they blend in well with the arm potentially too well but this then adds that little secret factor to it and it works so well so it's not a negative. The emotion in the face sort of sad but no I'm ignoring the pain to keep hanging on.
Summary:
Another hard one to see any negatives on all positives. I'm noticing a lot of red and balloons creeping into your artwork, I wonder if other colours to make the main feature could come in? and also if there are vulnerabilities shown through other items that could come in also? just ideas of course totally your decision not saying it's bad repetition can be very good. Obviously, go with what you feel I'm just giving you a challenge
Personal Note:
To answer you question what do I find hard letting go of? people..... if someone walks out of my life I mourn them quietly to myself even if they are still alive no one really notices or knows this or if they do they say nothing. For me, I seem to make a psychological contact and a connection to something in them and it's like they leave and pull my heart out with them, I struggle then to understand, get very anxious over it and I'm pretty sure it affects all my relationships, so I often find it hard to sometimes make me vulnerable to others due to people doing this. Anyway thanks for listening counsellor blue! same time next week? XD

Old friends. People who have hurt me but I still can't let go of them.

The smooth "forward momentum" of the gesture here really caught my eye, and the rich red lighting got me to click on it, but the barbed-wire balloon strings really make the piece Favorite material. Evocative and nicely rendered. Great work!

I find it hard to let go of my childhood dreams (and of my childhood in general, since many nasty events kinda stole it from me).
Gorgeous work, as always.

Huh. Didn't expect to see you here.

Why this? This artist is popular, so there are higher odds of finding someone you know in her comment section

That's.. true. In fact, when I first saw this artwork, something about it made me think of yours.

Thank you for making this

I love how each balloon makes me think of a heart, a life that she can't release even when they are harming her. Thank you

All of us has physical, mental, and emotional weight we can't always let go off. Sometimes we just need a little help letting go of our problems.

Right now I'm trying to learn how to let go of my long time best friend. We used to be extremely close, we'd talk all day long, hang out as frequently as we could, we'd tell each other everything. Now we hardly talk, she's always busy at work or with her boyfriend.
A good example of this is from a few weeks ago. In April I underwent a surgery where the broke my jaw in four places, adjusted things, and installed titanium plates and cadaver bones to keep things in place. The recovery has been long and slow, I still have to take a day off every once in a while.
A few weeks ago, I was having a particularly nasty pain day. The rest of my family would be out of the house that evening for a few hours, and I desperately didn't want to be alone, so I called my best friend and asked her to come over. She told me she was sorry, but she was too busy working out with her boyfriend to come over.
I'm learning to come to terms with the fact that I've always been her best friend, but she hasn't been mine for ages. Currently, I'm waiting for her to reach out to me. I normally reach out first, but I need to see how long it takes for her to miss me enough to do something about it. I haven't heard from her in four days.

Stay strong, I'm sure she doesn't wanted to hurt you, if she speaks to you, don't doubt about tell her what's happening.

I found it hard to let go of a person I loved who left me. For months, I felt like my world had ended. I've found new love, much, much better love now, and I'm happy again - I don't miss this person anymore and have no longing or desire for him - but the memories and the hurt inflicted linger. He changed me, became a defining moment in my life, and I don't think that will ever fade.
I think I'll be able to 'let go' if a get a chance to see him again, to tell him I'm happy and that he did the right thing for us both.
This is a beautiful piece. It perfectly represents what that feels like.

I am always bad at letting go. I usually drag something along for at least half a year if I really held it dear before. And when I finally "let go" I just ignore anything about it ever happened... which has lead to quite some problems afterwards (try being in a friendship, then realize it isn't worth it but keep it going still only to suddenly stop all communication at once... )
Thanks for this wonderful peace of art! I am, happy that you feel better these days

the timing with this is so perfect wow - I made a move to a different continent and with shipping costs and time change letting go has been a veeeery common theme.
Pretty unhealthy relationships, or ones that turned that way, are a challlenge to let go to as well.
And anything deeply rooted, core beliefs and such.
AND I CAN'T LET GO OF HOW I LOVE YOUR ART
It is beautiful, heartfelt, inspirational, and so many other positive things that I forgot the words to atm.
It is the type of art I aspire to have, the type of feelings I aspire to evoke.
Keep on keeping on and being awesome!
