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...!
