Vianna,
I find this painting quite captivating. It's very expressive and painterly. I'm not sure what segment of the public you think would react poorly to a painting like this, but , to me, it compares very favorably to the work of some other painters who do quite well, both commercially and critically. I've recently changed to a new computer, so I don't have some of my old links handy, but try searching for Milt Kobayashi's work, for example. I'll try to get some others for you as well.
I love her worldly, "Jeanne Moreau" look. Suitably titled this painting becomes a genre piece. Well done!
John
