I love the feel of your work,
I think telling stories in you work opens
it up even more. The last pic. reminds me
of my seven year old daughter when she’s
thinking of a new song! I like grey and yellow
seems mellow

looking very forward to seeing the painting. i love the birds, naturally

I think that maybe the background should be greys or neutral, and the girl should be brightly coloured, daydreaming about the brightly coloured birds. That way the colours kind of capture that wistful expression on her face. I liked the birds in and outside of the clouds, sitting wherever they like!

I love this. I like Grey and Yellow…or Blue and Brown.
Cheers!
