I like that you have her head against the clear blue part of the sky.
The graphical style and the red and blue colors remind me of Renaissance Art.
Here's another red-blue-gold painting I see a similarity in: www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/su…
Any connection?
Anyway, congratulations! Well deserved.

Thank you, that's quite a compliment! No, no connection, but I've been influenced by Pre-Raphaelites a lot, so maybe that's what you're seeing.

Wow this is such beautiful art work and all traditional! This very details with beautiful colors. I just wondering why I haven't watch you before if I've seen some of your work. Now I'll make sure I do. Your work really has inspired me to continue with my painting/drawing projects. Keep up the wonderful job!

The complexity of this piece is fantastic! Did you invent the city or is it a real one?

Thanks! The city is real. It's a town called Dubrovnik in Croatia. One of my old pen pals lives there and sent me a postcard, and it looked so bright and cool I just had to paint it.

You are welcome! I have never been to Croatia,but I was born in Italy and somehow the architecture reminded me of my country...and it makes sense as they are so close. You did a great job capturing the cityscape.

MJWilliam In reply to Astera-T [2013-05-29 03:28:45 +0000 UTC]
Thanks again. I can see how this would remind you of Italy. The colors are similar to Venice or Florence. I've never been to Croatia either, but I'm originally from Ukraine, which has very similar architecture and colors.

Indeed so. She popped up in my favorites and demanded another comment.
So full of life she is.
Blessings, Maria.
