Carlos,
it's a very succesfull composition, a sort of modern version of the woman reading a letter.
( maybe you could try the " girl reading her email " next time? :) )
Anyway I like this one a lot, you did a nice job with the expression of her face, and the still life is beautiful.

Carlos, this is awesome! Every aspect of the painting is quite solid down to the smirk as she smss'.

Hello Carlos,

A very beautiful and thoughtful painting.

My eye jumps all around your canvas like a child in a candy shop.

Great job.

Carlos, I absolutely LOVE this painting!! It has it all - old world feel, beautiful portrait, emotion, great composition and fabulous still life - along with an unexpected drop of modernism.
Hats off!

Carlos--

Dear Carlos,

This painting is simply stunning, and to me it's a favorite among the collection on this Forum. Velasquez would be proud! I love the lyrical composition.......

Keep amazing us,
