hmmm, interesting. nice colors! it almost looks alive like 3-D in 2-D, especially the fish woman. i like the painterly feel and the simplicity of the background with the foreground. it feels very "zen". something that I would recommend that might help a bit more with your painting is to define her more by putting more retouch especially on her skin and fins/wings so that she doesn't look too much like the plants. the face is excellent but just try to do some more work on the rest of the body. your almost there. just hang in there painting, okay?
