Hello to all.

I think you all know the model by now. A little bit "unorthodox" for me concept-wise, but I gave it a try anyway.

Oil on linen, 195cm x 114cm.

Thanks for looking.

Carlos, this is wonderful! Gave me quite a shock when I realised the reflection was different (I'm a bit slow on the uptake ).

The composition and your brushwork are both so lively.

I wish I had painted this.

Very nice, Carlos. The face and the still-life arrangement on the dresser top are especially lovely. The witty and thoughtful concept has great impact. Thank-you for sharing this.

Thank you all for having a look and for your comments.

Cindy and Julie--the reflection thing is a lot more evident when viewed in person. Thanks for the kind words.

Ngaire--I had to really think out the composition in this one. I

WOW Carlos!

This is so stunning! So full of life! It took me a few seconds to catch on too, but I love your concept!
