Usually I don't like figures being cut off below the knee. I prefer either above or full height but the way the pose draws lines down the page with arms and legs really works well, and removing the feet retains that feel. Having her feet in the image would have ended that journey too early! Definitely works here! Finally, I love the soft lighting and the desaturated colors. This is a great work of art!

I've done sets with ashes and the beauty is changing of place... you turn in someone else.
This is a painting. Beautiful !
