    Beautiful!! I guess you knew the warm orange tones of the face are perfect harmony matches to to the cool blues, as on a color wheel? Perfect!

  • Hidemi Tada replied

    unfortunatelly i didnt know the effect of two colors, but fortunatelly i learnt from your comment that there is a name cold color wheel, and perfect harmony of the warm orange tones and the cool blue. I will never forget it and think about color wheel from now. this is a big study for me. thank you again Matthew.

    Sophie Shapiro

    Mother Teresa appeared recently in one of My Spiritual Paintings, I didn’t upload it because I thought there wouldn’t be great interest in Mother Teresa. I see that your superb portrait is just exceptional! I feel I need to take a few breaths before I write anything. You have honoured a wonderful woman who gave everything of herself. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 1980 for her humanitarian work. Thank you Hidemi for remembering her…..She would have wanted you to sell the painting and donate the proceeds to her charity where it would do some good....I can hear her now! Beautiful work! Congratulations on all your features…Thank you for sharing!S

  • Hidemi Tada replied

    thank you Sophie and forgive me late reply. Mother Teresa is a really godess. Once she was on this world and it encouraged me so much. this painting is my favorite and treasure. i keep this for myself and watch her face everyday. i love her so much.

    Beautiful painting, I think what most appeals compositionally is the way the folds and creases in Teresa’s clothing reflects that within her hands and face, it gives the image a really lovely rhythm. Also as I think has been mentioned before the colour choice is great, the really rich orange/browns contrasting beautifully on the blues. Really really nice work. Very well done.

  • Hidemi Tada replied 12 days ago
