Description this is one of the first things i've painted with oil paint, and i'm in love. it is the perfect medium. *sighs and runs to spend all her moolah on paint*

a character i've been drawing a lot of lately, there will be numerous paintings with her as the subject. this painting was done over a while, because i'm inexperienced with oil paint, and lazy (i'd paint a petal, then wander off on a foodrun). and it's not entirely finished, because i've run out of yellow paint. i just wanted (needed) to get advice on what to add/subtract. *looks meaningfully at devstalkers*

my brother thinks the birds don't go with the colours. i'm starting to agree. i might make them lighter. they started out as doves but ended up as crows. lines will be added; those red poppies at the bottom will have stems, and the skirt at the top will be pegged to a washing line, etc.

I figured you wouldn't reply, be it that you're from melbourne I imagine you've walked past outre gallery and seen his work, as they always have his paintings in there window, or in the store.

Not trying to put a copycat pin on your head, it's just the resemblance is quite uncanny, you must admit.

This is a lovely piece. Its very pleasing to the eye and I have added it to my fav's. If it was mine I would take out the skirt at the top left ( but that's just me). I love the little girl and its very pleasing to look at. Thanks

At first glance, it sort of looks like a Yoshitomo Nara character, but not as angry. The serenity is nice, but if the birds were lighter, it would be even better.

Still a good piece.

Please keep the bird in the bottom left hand corner, whatever your brother says...

Can I just steal that dove/crow and its three adjacent poppies? Terribly pretty, in a stark kind of way.
