Nice one, Wayne. I’d only make a tiny suggestion: let her blue dress run through the bottom left corner to balance the composition.

 

[Nufocus]

My gut tells me that after looking at Soutine you’re influenced in a very good way!. Cool!!

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Nofocus .. I had it but went over it a bit with the backswing ..
Yes, I am easily influenced which is good for some things. I like Michael Kikoïne better. I have not had a chance to sit with his images for a bit but probably today. I see he painted with Soutine and the influence is seen quite easily.

Love the blues and earth tones in this one! This is very lively knife work - fun stuff, Wayne. ❤

 

[Jo Castillo]

Fun to see and study. Your titles always pull me in.

 

[Artyczar]

Wonderful piece. I like her and her expression.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Terri, Jo, and Arty.

She got gold but lost her youth. She only now realizes it. Maybe I should write stories.

 

[Perry]

Nice one Wayne!

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Perry .. my wife didn't think so but she is more on the side of convention.

 

[Queen Bee]

Lovely. For some reason it conveys mystery to me.

 

[Enyaw]

Thanks Queen .. every picture tells a story. Probably a different story but a story.

 

[Donna T]

I like this one, Wayne! For some reason she looks like the kind of woman who deserves gold.

 

[Enyaw]

Thank you Donna. Heck we all deserve some gold.

 

[laika]

Heck we all deserve some gold.

I think you deserve the recognition and benefits of induction into The Order of the Golden Knife.

 

[Enyaw]

Why thank you Lamar. If I feel the need of an agent, I'll keep in mind.

[Jane]

her Eyes just draw you in. You can almost read her soul.
