Greetings from the Critique Club
Well, this is a difficult sssignment: How do I critique Art (with a capital "A")
First of all, I like your piece, a lot. Great placement of the lamps, sofa, person, cats, even that thing with the yellow trim. Lighting is good for the mood you were evoking, with those dusky colors in the background and the soft, natural lighting on the person. Any brighter and the illusion would have left.
Of course the kittens are a bonus attraction, and it's a delight to come across them when one takes the time to find them.
But you know what our hurried voters saw and didn't see. They missed the story entirely and saw only the multitude of individual pieces. They called it "busy" and voted low and moved on.
I expect you are not too upset over your score. From examining your portfolio, yOu know you're good and you know you have a good piece here.
Enjoy your time among the beautiful hills of Ithaca. I have fond memories of the Cornell campus. |
