But then, I'm scared to death of oils, so I'm always impressed when someone manages to work with them. This is a really interesting piece, thouhg. I love the old-time horse ride. So creative. John Ryan Byrd replies: "Thanks, Glad you dig it. I know they will just get better with more practice, I took the pic with a Digicam and the blurring towards the bottem is from correcting the lense warp in photoshop." | |

She might could use a little more shadow beneath the curve of her jaw, to contrast face and neck a bit more....but otherwise looks fine to me. The foreshortening of the leg is very effective. Altogether, this is really good, especially considering it's your first oil painting. Great work! | |

I may be looking too far into this, but to me it’s like saying that each future generation should be able to enjoy what was in their past, instead of dismissing it or being ashamed. That and pleasures can come in the simplest of ways. | |
