I love this painting, it conveys so much with so little. All your paintings are amazing, but this is my personal fave. Thanks for sharing!

My immediate reaction was to have been drawn in to the judicious use of warm, against all of the cool color. Her body language could be read as closed - not allowing anyone in - which is reinforced by the facial expression and the overall tone, which is slightly melancholic. I'm wondering if I'm looking through the window at a scene, even an emotional window vs a physical one, or if the window is behind her and we can't really make out the world beyond it. Overall, like most of your painting, you managed to arrest my attention and make me wonder what's going on here. I appreciate how deftly you've used the blocks of color to bring the viewer's attention back to the figure, an excellent composition. Another great painting.

Thanks man...Your feedback is always valued. Thanks for taking the time.
I've started painting clothed figures again, I find the extra colour / compositional
options are greater. (It probably won't last long) I do like the kind of Adam & Eve narrative that
nudes have (in the West) the nude is vulnerable and powerful both at the same time...
