This has been such a crazy, busy week for me that I sincerely feel lucky to be making it to
Paint Party Friday even tho' I'm really, really late!
I finally had a couple hours to work on my new painting. I did add a little color to her face, and I feel like it was just the right amount-
she's no longer "cadaver-ish" but still somewhat surreal...
Please feel free to share any constructive criticism- I'm always open to suggestions!
Happy Paint Party Friday!

I like the surreal nature. There's clearly a great deal going on in this piece - your eye stays a while and takes in what's happening and wonders....
I love the surreal touch! Valerie
wow its sensational. What to do with it.........? Give it to me, of course.......lol Happy PPF and enjoy the weekend, x
I love the surreal feeling of the whole painting. She has a look of wistfulness about her that just reaches out and grabs you and draws you into her world.
Dont know if u know of the story of The Black Dalia , but thats who she looks like to me , so surreal..

She looks great and not cadaverish at all hahaha you crack me up! I agree with everyone so far, the slightly abstract-ness of the bars are a nice touch. It looks like she is standing inside a graveyard looking out into the harsh light... I LOVE IT!

Wonderful surrealist qualities!
She is definitely full of mystery and intriques the viewer.

Such a fascinating painting and gorgeous so far! I wonder about her neck - it seems so much darker than her hand or face.
Very mysterious and haunting.
This is stunning, Stephanie. I actually really like the stark contrast of her neck. It's balanced by the darkness in her hair and the background. I wouldn't touch a thing!
Brilliant beauty..I think she is FAB just as she is!Gorgeous!

I love the way she is riveting the viewer with her stare. Makes you wonder about her. Is she inviting you in? Or is she trapped inside and wants to come out? Beautiful and mysterious lady!
oooo, I like this,, beautiful, I agree with everyone else,, surreal but not spooky, beautiful,
WOW Stephanie...this is amazing! I think this is your best work yet, finished or not!

the wrought iron the way you have it gives the painting a very interesting effect, I like it!
I love it, I seem to be drawn to the area of her hand on the spiral!
very interesting as a whole!
I don't think you should change a thing....she's beautiful! Somewhat mysterious, makes me think of old New Orleans. Maybe from the 30's or 40's. I love her!
Oh, I am really loving her. The color on the face was a good idea, and I am just amazed by her hand...it's the first thing about the painting that I noticed, it's just perfect.
If it were my painting, maybe a tiny bit of detail or shading in her dress, to separate it from the wrought iron, but that's all.
Really this is quite gorgeous. IMHO I wouldn't change her mouth, it's quite beautiful and stands out in direct contrast to the somewhat surreal quality of her face! It's a very captivating painting. ~Happy Paint Party Friday! #9 Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
This looks like someone I know (even the mouth)! I think it is very well done. I love the treatment of the hands. Faye
wow,,,I love this!!
I think it's great, the flower of hair in the same color as the lips was a great idea. For me and the girl is fine, I darken and give volume to the fence, but it's your work and you have to internalize the. Saludos
I love this! Especially the shape of the gate in front of her. It is realistic and has a purpose but is also sort of abstact and graphic. Love it!
Hi Stephanie
Wow, I love this. Very strong contrast and yes, surreal. I'd love to be able to get to this level with my painting.
Congrats, Ev
I love every bit of this and would not touch anything on it - it is perfect!
No criticism here! I absolutely love her exactly as she is. She definitely has a story to tell and it is up to the viewer to decide...love her!
Absolutely beautiful.
wow. This is striking and leaves me wondering.
Love this! She has a ghostly quality. ;)
