Hello Ilaria
This is a very nice painting. I think the drawing in the shirt is especially good - the way you have created form and structure with differing tone and a few well-placed lines. You have also integrated the figure and the background very well too. You have achieved a great sense of space and daylight. Your colours are lovely - I agree with everyone here. Very well done.

What a knockout painting, Ilaria! Everything about it - the grays, the combination of mass and line, the color variety - shows such intelligent and deft paint handling. All the life work you're doing is really paying off for you, it really shows here.
You get such a lively, urgent sense of life in paintings and this one is no exception.

Wow, Ilaria! Such economical brushstrokes, with so much visual information. I love the colors and the fresh spontaneous feel.

Thanks to all for your nice words, this painting was great fun to do and I was surprised at my own confidence in getting the likeness right, maybe after all the life work I am getting there...!
