Artist's Comments

This painting is about eating disorders. The scan is not good. It makes the oranges look neon.

looks super professional. beautiful.
conceptually brilliant as well.
if i had to critique anything i'd say
i'm not too fond of the oranges on sticks in the background.
but they don't take anything away from the painting.
just a personal taste.

But what a wonderful painting it is. You have a magical way of capturing distorted perspective. If you can find another scan, i'd be interested in seeing it as you intended it. :)

Great work! Glad you're back. :nod:

Woh, haven't seen anything from you in ages. Your palette is beautiful, I like the neon orange. I like how you can see the texture of the gesso. Her face kind of has this blank stare, I think you could communicate her problem a bit more from the face. Because the background is so bright, it looks too happy and childlike, but it isn't, and the face could do a bit more to show it. I really like the layout, I think it's a beautiful painting.
