the images are beautiful. it was a little difficult to reas (not by your fault, my screen is terrible) but I can see a lot of emotion. listening to music or thinking of something while you did it? it feels like it.
the colors are amazing, the textures and use of the paint is brilliant. there is a great simplicity to the outline in black and you brought the images to life with the depths of layers in paint. amazing.
