Artist's Comments

Oils, 36 X 36.

Wow. Can't believe I got a DD on this. A lot of people made a similar comment - that this looks like a photo at first. It's not - it was painted the good old fashioned way, with oils. The brightest parts have the least amount of paint - the highlights on the face have actually been wiped out, with hints of pure, translucent Raw Sienna showing through. Same thing for the top of the couch, and parts of the arms. Anyhow, thanks to everyone who took a bit of time to look at my painting. I appreciate all the comments a great deal!

One last thing - to all who were interested - this piece is titled after the Muse song of the same name.

This is just breath taking, I love it, the colors are so bright and the lighting makes you feel like you are right in the room with her with the sun shining on you from the window. Great job

Excellent. Even the floral pattern on the cloth is worthy on note. I like the smooth blending of colour. Quite different to my style, and probably harder to achieve.
