Timebomb, watercolor portrait speed painting

It still amazes me, what watercolors can do when they are in capable hands.
The first impression is a bit unsettling, if not straight dramatic, and only then I noticed those lines dividing the whole drawing into parts. The lines look like boundaries between the states... interesting and unusual just like the strong colors you used. The woman has this half-puzzled, half-dumb expression on her face; I wonder what she's looking at and I like the way you kept her face smooth and simple, which is contrasting with that color chaos around her. For some reason - I sense war behind this picture, I don't know why. Anyway, your style is unmistakable and keep painting. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Nod"/>
