Your style of painting works really well for the subject matter. I really like the vacant look on the woman's face, it is like the piece tells a story. In fact I would have made her face the center of the piece, but I am alway conscious of the very center of a piece. For me, as with other people I'm sure the eye tends to catch at the center of the piece and it may be easy to overlook the more profound ideas that these figures represent. Many compliments on the refining of your technique. I love the overlapping swirls and detail. It makes for a really rich piece.

Thanks Abby, I appreciate your comments.
