"these are feelings that is at times experienced, the art in a miserable life...colors and deep shades of curves tend to be a big challenge in drawing up a face, but it looks realistic, photo perfect like, it show how you view your life with on boring day to day ....great work indeed!"

"Great technical ability"

"Quietly moving!"

"Who cares about what she's thinking. Your depth in color is great."

"It's pretty darn good, especially the reflection."

"i love the way the colors work with both the paintings and i hope that the pics don't reflect the way you feel and if they do i really hope that you become more happy. aside from the dreary, sad, and sorrowful tone i love the pics. They both have great color tones and i congrats on the attention to detail. i can see every hair that is noticeable. i enjoyed these works but please if you are depressed either brighten yourself up or if you can't please seek help. this is not mocking you just please i lost a relative to depression and do not want the same thing to happen to you.:P"
