woah, that's a really nice painting! I love the juxtaposition of the 3D- looking body and the flat clothes. With the floral background, it reminds me of Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss"

I'm so happy I found a community with traditional art to go along with all the AI art communities. They both offer different views in my opinion, not that I am at all knowledgeable in art lol.

Wow, breathtaking. The discarded masks, sensual lighting. This feels like she emerges from the paiting itself as a real person. Like you get to know her humanity.
