While I had dabled with oil painting before, this was my first serious attempt to paint with oil and defines my shift from acrylic painting to oil painting, although I still painted landscapes in acrylic for a while afterwards.

Oil on canvas, 20" X 16"

2001

She seems to be more focused on something happening back in the distance than on her instrument. There is an air of melancholy about her.

*Blink* Wow... I'm jealous. I could never paint like that, I'm stuck on pen and pencil.. O_o I absolutely love this picture, and all the rest of your pictures as a matter of fact! Keep up the good work!

I agree w/ Steve, it is melcony and she does seem to focus on the distance, but its nice. I like how she is not characteristicly thin and angulur (though those are my fav.) it gives it an air of realilsm.

Good shadeing of dress. Her face looks flat and the back ground looks abit bumby.But i like the colourings.
Is this an asian white elf or a european elf?

It is good, and the ear is much better than most elfin ones at Elfwood (such as the manga style of sticking out,) though I think that could be slightly more realistic. Vulcan ears in Star Trek are most realistic or at least aesthetic, compared to in LoTR movies which the ear here looks like, though those might seem more how they would develop than in Star Trek.

I like how this is kind of simple and dark. Realistic & such a nice cool palette. Great job on the instrument, too.
