Great job Kerra - you handled the helicoptor admirably (I think machines like that are hard to do!) and the foreground figure's pose is convincing andwell painted. Excellent job - he looks very proud of it!
The details and the skin tones are so excellently done. I like that the topic is not the usual cute roses or similar. I hope to see more of work like this
Artist Reply: Hi, there, Trine! Thanks for your detailed feedback on this piece--(the kind I find most helpful!). The seriousness of the subject matter made for a struggle over the composition and must how much detail to put in--couldn't have it 'cartoon like'---nor 'flowery' for that matter. I'm working on some other commission pieces at this time--all surrounding our Special Operation guys. Thanks again for your comment--hope your day goes great! -Kerra
