I really like this. The crooked painting in the background really makes it interesting. You really wonder what's going on? Is that a scene of someone being decapitated? Very intriguing work. I've gotta fav it...
:iconh-magoria:
thanks. Yeah, the painting on the wall is Artemisia Gentileschi's "Judith Beheading Holofernes".

I love that Artemisia painting.
This is very creepy to me. Although I like how the burnt sienna looks, perhaps making the greens a bit more present would give you the feeling similar to what the crooked painting evokes. It would really drive it home in my mind at least.
Its extreemly well painted! You rock my socks!

Immediately noticed the Judith Beheading Holofernes in he background – and your Judy has a lot of emphasis around her head, too – I’m looking for the metaphors – your Judy is angry, yet, based on her attire, not yet emancipated…

The dying plant perhaps indicates she is no longer chaste – deflowered – but her attire is girlish, virgin-ish, she even has a toy bear near her…not necessarily the accoutrements of a strong woman…

Hmmm…the Gentileschi painting has become so synonymous w/ feminism that I’m looking for the correlation, if there is one, to your Judy…I need to think about it a bit more…

Tremendous work on this =)
