I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently, and so it takes me rather longer to get to work.

Good stuff. You look like Lindsay Lohan by the way.

wow this is great


without the explanation this is a very confusing painting. i really like the anachronism of the graffitti in the bg

Quite schoking.. that's why I loved it.
Congrats!

In the composition; there is something unsettlingly real, but surreal about this; it's almost impressionistic in a way, and I love it for that. The stark contrast you've created with this historically unsettling subject and the background of a vandalized urban area evokes ideas that I'm trying to figure out... Deeply symbolic, comapring people's attitudes to today's problems compared to the carnage of the past? Disrespect and the forgetting of and for those that gave their lives for struggles no longer cared about today? I'm not sure. It's incredible, though.

I very much like the painting and use of mixed media. The scar doesn't seem to follow what I imagine would be the natural contour of the face though. And if it's freshly bleeding, surely the surrounding area of skin wouldn't turn red so quickly? It would just be a fresh cut. Though I'm of course nitpicking, it's a great painting.

i think the word to sum up this painting would be ironic. the pride and defiance created by your pose and facial expression contrasted with the gash as a sign of defeat, wearing her scars with pride. Also the seeming 'glamour' of the past with the redcoat compared with modern times conveyed by the graffetti. the painting seems to be oozing rebellion to me. great use of simbolism, very powerful.

dear god woman can you paint...i heart your style....wow thats all i can say, wow.....
