Your work is really stunning Kristy! Your brush strokes are gorgeous as is your palette choices.

I LOVE paintings that require you to take a second look! At first, I thought you had physically painted a mannequin and took a snapshot of it.

This is awesome! Did you paint the newspaper background legitimately, or is it real newspaper and then a painted mannequin on top ( I'm guessing the latter ).

Rawk!

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU GUYS!!! I am so relieved to hear people like it! This is a pretty personal piece. The background was indeed made up of torn together paper like newsprint, only it was actually pages torn out of old notebooks that I used to keep track of everything that I ate (did that for a few years!) Um, so yeah, in that way it kinda relates to the whole mannequin theme... yeaaaaah

So THANKS GUYS!!

Mesmerizing!

What is feeneeshed?
Is that the technique of the applying the words/lists to an oil painting?

I love it!
The words are as if she is trying to distract herself while feeling over exposed and half a person in a place she rather not be.

Yes I've definitely been there!
