Wow, ellen!. You are way beyond where most 15 year olds are!. I don't really mean technically (though there too), but expressively!. And your sense of color is fantastic!. Extremely sophisticated, I think!. And the way you put down paint is great!.

Not sure where the images are coming from -- some look like they were taken from Gaugin possibly!? -- but it doesn't really matter right now!.

Are you going to art school after high school!? I think it would be great for you to study painting full time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I will be a little less kind in my critique than that of the others!. I think it is important to see one's faults because only by this can we improve!. A person who critiques is far more useful than one who sings praises!.
The style looks a bit like Fauvism and Expressionism!. It is a good concept but there are a couple of things i see that could be better!. The first thing is that her left arm cuts off a bit on the top!. When you make a painting you have to think of composition and be aware of edges!. Unless you intend to zoom in to a certain part this is fine, but this does not seem to be the case here!. The painting would look better if there was a little bit more space on the upper part!. as is it looks myopic!. Another thing is the color, while typical of fauvism and expressionism you have to make the relationship between color more harmonic!. Otherwise the painting will look tense and it will be conflicting(too much stuff to look at)!. You are not afraid of color which is a good think but try to tone them down a bit!. It is a nice painting, I see potential and with more practice I'm quite confident you can do a lot better!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say yes!. Have you tried to get a local business/restaurant/coffee shop to put some of your work up for sale!? You might work on that or putting them on ebay!. It wouldn't hurt to try that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Amazing!!!! My prediction-you will be famous someday!. Please remember me when you are!

Warm Regards,
