Carlos,
it's a very succesfull composition, a sort of modern version of the woman reading a letter.
( maybe you could try the " girl reading her email " next time?  )
Anyway I like this one a lot, you did a nice job with the expression of her face, and the still life is beautiful.

Hello Carlos,
A very beautiful and thoughtful painting.
My eye jumps all around your canvas like a child in a candy shop.
Great job.

Carlos, I absolutely LOVE this painting!! It has it all - old world feel, beautiful portrait, emotion, great composition and fabulous still life - along with an unexpected drop of modernism.
Hats off!

Dear Carlos,
This painting is simply stunning, and to me it's a favorite among the collection on this Forum. Velasquez would be proud! I love the lyrical composition.......
Keep amazing us,
Garth

Dear Carlos,
come on, you know it is not ONLY the cell phone. I find both the quietness of the subject and the balance of the portrait and the still life really pleasing to the eye. The harmony of greys, the beauty of the drapings, everything conjures to a great work
Chapeau
Ilaria
PS I just came back yesterday from Menorca, we really needed a bit of spanish sun, what a gorgeous country you have!
