When I hear the word painting I always think of your art. I don't know why, but I know that your art is really splendid. Personally the color pallet is simply fierce. The soft and hard strokes of the colors add to the intensity, then the sweet face makes an amazing piece that is so unique and one of a kind. The gentleness of the flowers add a pop to the pallet. One thing that stood out the most to me was the eyes. It was the centerpiece to me and it was it was carried out very well. All the wonderful things combine into a star gazing, eye popping, scenic, watery sight. All of your art is simply smashing, but this one stands out among them . This piece should personally be the world's greatest painting.

So overall this consists highly of cool('cold') colours,leading roles played by blues of varied values and, maybe for balancy or else, for synthesis, purples slightly ascending and descending.(Interestinglypurple becomes the prima donna on first view)
It is usually not ideal using watercolor in portraits (abstract or realistic) instead of more 'sculptural' medias as oil. However she's successfully found out its own advantage: the comfortable effect, transparent, feather-like 'visual weight'. The face was shaped such that gives out relief and relax, and surely sub-conscious temptation and if any, a little blue emotion. Eyes like clear-water wells, flowers more than decorativation but also notes of atmospheric mood. Like this a lot.
