Will you look at that DETAIL!

My goodness, that is gorgeous! I also love the narrative behind this piece, "Hitomi has returned and she's older." What a great idea! It's almost like a sequel to the series, the ending we should've seen
Painting is an extremely painful and difficult medium. In this digital era, it's astounding to see hand crafted art that rivals the clarity and sharpness you see in digital works. But the advantage to this piece, with all paintings, is the depth of field. Your choice of colors is vivid and marvelous. You have a natural talent in regard to color, not all artists have that.
Tex's beautiful comments mirror my own sentiments towards this piece. Nat, you are truly amazing.
