This one references Bougerou's "The Calling". I think of her as as a combination of the blue fairy from Pinocchio and Jesus. Her dolls are 1940's kewpies.

Do you think she needs more color? besides blue, i mean.

Looks amazing, I think this one might be my new favorite I love the glow around her head and the proportions are really interesting with the longer neck...another great piece!

The Blue Fairy and Jesus--I can totally see it. I agree with a previous commenter that adding more gold, maybe in the halo, might look nice against the blue, but as far as the skin tone goes, I like her the way she is.

This is strangely creepy. No I don't think it needs more color. Blue is just right! Madonna's mantle color.

Just in time for Easter! You create the coolest images, Jenny. Beautiful and thought-provoking. Only you can truly know if she needs more colour!

I think it's great as is. Kind of languid and somehow disturbing like most religious iconography. I really like your work!

Looks great. I love the palette. I could see a few more Gold bits here and there if you wanted to add some details(?). Not that it needs it, just a thought though

thanks james. i can see how more gold would work nicely as a foil to the blue. i think i will add some subtle gold tones to her skin as well.

Great painting. I personally just like the blue another colour could be distracting. The composition is beautifuully balanced with the blue elements. The blue and halo also references Mary

I think the skin color is very elegant the way it is now

Great Work !
