I like the is piece, I thank the brushstrokes and the limited pale on your wife skin is a go idea.
And the drapery gave me the felling of Vermeer's Girl Asleep at a Table, that one of my favorite.

the setting is so subtle and beautiful.
did you work from a photo you had taken perhaps?
or a combination of photos?
that's the feeling i get.
regardless,...i really like the elements you've gathered.
i like the way the blanket/tablecloth(?) sinks into the shadows.
and how the subject seems to 'escape' from them with hands clasped.
some gesture of hope?
the violin is such a beautiful instrument to begin with. i can't think of an
instrument that isn't really.
(ok. perhaps the bass drum? heh.)
she stares ahead into the light,...while the dark, seemingless empty frame
stares down at her.

i know,...i'm reading too much into this. it's a fallacy of mine.

it's a beautiful piece of art.
well done.

I admire the way you capture old-world charm with your painting style. Hats off to you!
She's a lovely subject.

I'm in awe over that carpet on the table. The details are amazing. Great play in light, shadow, and saturation.
