Flaming Red

I was probably not expected to put 5 stars in every category here, but I assure you I did think about it. There is much to say about this painting. The woman's face is absolutely beautiful. The realism in everything you have here is outstanding. The blurred background was a great choice for this piece, including the ends of her hair blurred as well, I love how you did that. The small detail in the shirt and the scarf was visible from the start. The fact that there was nothing really original about this piece is what made it stand out. I've never seen a woman or a painting set up like this before. I love how the hair and the eyes fit well together and both pop out, but not too much. The darker sides of the background balance the whole picture. Her expression gives me multiple feelings. I see a strong and brave woman here. I also see kindness and a little bit of a soft side. Maybe that's not what you were going for, but that is honestly what I see. I see a strong, most independent woman. The buildings in the background also give this a fantasy-like touch, alongside her different clothing. The tattoos don't make her look like a punk, or some dark soul, but actually fit her very well. All in all, I think that everything in this painting fits together making the meaning stand out more to me. There was quite an impact here. Overall, outstanding job. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/> Keep up the wonderful work.
