Hi, I'm new to this site, feel free to share your opinion

[Erika Takacs]

Fatima, I'm glad you've found us. Your work is beautiful. I'm blown away. The originality, the composition, the technique, engaging the viewer - everything is there. Thank you for sharing. This is art. Erika

[FatimaA]

Thank you Erika for your kind words, I'm very happy to be here,
glad you like my art

I agree. This is a very nice painting. You are very good at capturing women. Her face is beautiful and peaceful.

all the best,
Joe

Well, I guess I'm the only one so far to say, not for me, sorry. The technique suggested is admirable, though difficult to evaluate in such a small picture. The background is exotic and intriguing. I like that.

Now, danger. Do NOT read on without wearing very strong armor.

What I don't like in what I see overrides what I do. I don't see any real conceptual continuity or even real "art." I don't see balance, style, or statement...except as noted later here. I don't even see "good design," except for the background itself.

I don't like the suggestion of a penis erupting between her much too "boob job" teenage male fantasy
easts. In fact, the entire "woman" is too much straight out of a male fantasy version of what a perfect woman should look like. The composition as a whole doesn't spark any significant meaning for me other than those which I find exceedingly repulsive, suggestive in reducing the human female to a pleasure vehicle and a reproductive receptacle.

Well DLKeur thank you for your critique:)
I don't need the strong armor to read it since I Am Ready For The Fury! It's very interesting to know what people think about my art, I respect your opinion. It's very personal, you see things the way you see. I'm just glad that at list my painting evoked such strong feelings, it compliments me:)
Often in my paintings I use females figure as a symbol of beauty and a perfect balance. My paintings are very different, sometimes they evoke feelings in a little aggressive provocative way that expresses my fantasy and passion. I completely understand you and think you are right in some of your aspects, but this is me and I express myself the way I feel, you don't have to like it.
Thanks again for your comments, I appreciate it very much!

[DLKeur]

Good for you! And I mean that sincerely. As an artist, you must hold to your convinctions and hold self-confidence in all your creations. *applause* ...Not that my opinion of this particular work has changed. (It hasn't.)

[FatimaA]

Thank you

I am one who loves color most of all in paintings. However, I find myseft likeing this work. The detail is outstanding. And it is a work which one will stop and look at. And think about. Did you use any color other than black and white? Also, What is the size of the work?

[FatimaA]

Thanks John, I do too love color very much, but the contrast of black and white has something very enigmatic and very powerful. I used only black and white acrylics, the size of the canvas is 18x24x1.5

You definitely have a talent for drawing.
Having said that, I would move the tall pot further down
by her hip area, get rid of the small creamer altogether and
definitely 86 the crazy lattice-work in the back.
Way too much going on! ehoeveler
