Wonderful Piece. It reminds me of a Titian Painting, "The Gypsy Madonna". The textures and the emotions are powerful!!!!!

Very nicely done! I like the feel of this portrait.

Great work. Strands of highligted hair and choice of colors give warmth to this art.

I really like the warm skin tones --she has a glow about her. The nose is perfect!

Love the darkness in background and expression

Cile, I love this one. It seems to be a new style for you. I was wondering, what colors did you use to create this beautiful skin tone? What color did you start with and what color did you end with? Also, do you use the colors opposite as its shadow and or shadeing? For example, if you use naples yellow as the primary color,do you use a purple for the shadeing & or shadows?

I love the warm tones and pensive expression on her face. This painting says more than words could ever convey. Brings to mind works by the great masters!
