Description
*Edited: Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I changed a few things, from the butterfly to the eyes that were too dark for a personification of spring. I also went back to the original coloring I had, which was frendlier and a little rose-tinted. This is the image I finally submitted._____________________
I've redone this ([link] ) completely because I want to submit it to a contest and it wasn't nearly large enough, so I repainted it from scratch.
I'm much happier with this than with the original version, but I'd like to make it the best piece it can be, and for that I need feedback on what I can improve. So please, go ahead and tear it apart!

I love her mouth and eyes ^_^ they draw the most attention first, then the hair and then everything around it. Although this is different for everyone

O_O That hair!! I love the colors you chose for this. The hair almost looks gray/white, and I love the eyes. This whole thing looks like it was made with real paints. What a beautiful effect. I'm faving this, especially since Spring is my favorite season! ^^

Oooaaa I'm drooling all over the LOVELY grey hair ! Amazing ! I think I wouldn't usually a painting so soft and "sleek" as this one, but I can't help it, she's too beautiful.
P.S. This is the feedback-part ! I think the arch (/the shadow) of the shoulder should be stronger ? The spot of light there is pretty, though.

I love this picture. I can just stare and stare at it for hours looking at all the details, etc. I'm torn about her eyes though. They look beautiful, but I almost like the blue from the original better. I think a green in between would probably be perfect, a little more spring-like too. But since you've already worked so much with them, they're probably perfect as they are. XD

spring is my favorite season. Her hair is a cool colour. Although, the clods seem a bit too dark with water, unless it is for the fact that it rains alot inspring?

Heeeey! Congrats on the daily deviation! I kinda wondered why it hadn't gotten one yet. Or any of your other pieces. But I'm a hopeless fan girl of your art. ^_^

I love how you did use the classic blinding colors found in most "spring" pictures. They're very real and fresh. Instead of neon flowers and astro turf green grass, you've used beautiful, natural colors. The woman also has a very raw beauty to her. So amazing!
Sorry, I couldn't find anything to critique. Your talent surpasses most on this site including myself. And now I'll stop and spare you the repetitive praise

Very beautiful! You've achieved tactile sensation with this painting - you can almost feel the breeze that the picture implies and smell the freshness of the air. Excellent piece.

She's very beautiful, I must say. Personally, there's very little to tear apart here! I believe the foliage could be a little more on the green side, considering she's the personification of springtime. And compared to the last one, her hair isn't quite a light, nor does it have as much movement in it. I do, however, like it very much. Gorgeous.
