I dig this piece. peace, O.

The use of the complimentary colors, lavender and yellow, lend a dramtic effect to this face. It creates a beautiful contrast that illuminates this image to great effect. Someone who knows about or wishes to teach color combinations can use this work to demonstrate the effect of combining complimentaries. This is a wonderful study for someone who wishes to learn how to combine colors. I love this!

I liked this portrait very much. Its so nice and powerful! Very good expressions!! Thanks for visit to my art. I appreciate your comments..

You handle pastel very uniquely.Your work has almost a waterly effect to them.Really love this piece.Great job.

Handsome Son, Joyce! Excellent portrait! Love it!.....Natalie

strong piece of work - demands a second look. great colors & dynamic line create a richly varied & elegant expression. Amazing. Don't you just love pastel's ability to keep the energy of drawing.

This is a very powerful pastel portrait. It takes courage to use those colours. I love the way you handled the darks and lights. Well done!

Wow.great work.

Fascinating.Bravo

Wow Joyce excellent Portrait!! your use of colors in the face is amazingly good and makes this an outstanding piece!!

Dear Joyce! This really is an amazing piece of work! Your handling of pastels is masterful and this colourful portrait reflects this. (all my favourite colours too!!!) The contrast of light and dark and the treatment of the hair is brilliant! Love the little touches of turquoise at the ahirline and on the outer eyelid. Wonderful work!

WOW, outstanding, Noredin
