I love the way you've used the green of her eyes again in the highlights of her hair and the blue-gray of the 'whites' of her eyes in the background. Your use of reds is brilliantly complimentary to those blue-greens. I can't stop looking at her eyes. And then my gaze always ends up drifting down to the reddish shadows beneath her eyes, making me wonder about her...is she ill? Has she been crying for days? Has she been up for 72 hours straight? I'm enjoying all the portraits you've done so far and wondering if they are all from your imagination or do you use any references?
Just looking through your gallery and came across this. I'd forgotten that you drew it. I fell in love with the same photo! Pretty funny. I left out the berries. Seeing your version again...I really like how you made it your own style.
