What a wonderful painting, Carlos, and beautifully painted! I love the modern aspect of your daughter's phone in an otherwise traditional composition.

This is painted so well, just gorgeous. I also love the cell in there....very creative and smart, but still so old-world-looking.

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.

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!
