You are such a master portraiture artist, Arthur! I love this <3 The tonality is so subtle and so well considered, that one can truly feels the undercurrent shift of a premonition between the light areas of the painting to the dark areas. The way you used bats at the bottom almost as if they are frozen in flight is delightfully dreamy, suggestive of the darker moods of sadness and grief, and this contrasts so well against the high moon in the top side of the canvas, peerless and buoyant, it symbolizes a state of joy and happiness well :)

Love, love, love your steady use of subdued tones throughout the piece. It really does embodies bittersweet melancholia so nicely <3

A gorgeous work, Arthur <3
