I am especially amazed at how central the entire painting is to the woman. It reminds me of the opening lines of 'The Fountainhead', by Ayn Rand: "The lake below was only a thin steel ring that cut the rocks in half. The rocks went on into the depth, unchanged. They began and ended in the sky. So that the world seemed suspended in space, an island floating on nothing, anchored to the feet of the man on the cliff"(pg. 15). It is rare to see works of art that finely display humanity being so grand as to make nature look bleak without him. You have pulled this off very well. Kudos to you. I am eager to see more in the future. I really like the finished work and enjoyed watching the process. I am especially amazed at how central the entire painting is to the woman.
