Thomasin,
there's a lot of vibrations in this work. I like the warm-cool colors contrast : it makes me think that the figure , emerging from the night is lit by a fire and the moon. I love the grey-blue shadows.
I agree with Carlos, the gesture of the hand says a lot with very limited means.
I think that the frontal gaze is more fascinating because it's not detailed, it's just like meeting somebody's eyes and then look away: it's the impression which stays...
Congratulations!
