Oh, WOW! What a gorgeous pairing!

Wow! Those are absolutely gorgeous! I really like the freckles on Gilda. I'm not sure what it is about them specifically, but the freckles and the red hair just drew me in like whoa!

Seeing them together really does enhance both. I really like the colours, and the shading in the amber and the leaves.

I love the symmetry - the flowers on the tree in Gilda's portrait echoed by the flower behind Gil's ear; the beads of Gilda's necklace echoed as hanging strands in Gil's portrait.

What are the beads and flowers, anyway?

Lovely work. I also like the texturing/shading/colors of the background.

The beads are amber, and the flowers are jarrah (a form of eucalyptus) blossoms. :D

Absolutely stunning. And I agree with the assessment of the two enhancing each other!

[bewylderbeast.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous. Really. And the pair of them side by side look wonderful.

Oh, wow.

They . . . rhyme!

Oh my GODS that is gorgeous. The red, green, and gold shades work marvelously together.

Gilda's amber matches her hair :) That hanging next to Gil doesn't quite, but he doesn't strike me as 'girly' that way (to care that his jewelry matches, lol).

for some reason this time? The flash washed out the portrait, usually it pops more...weird.

fantabulous as always!

Oh wow, they really do look beautiful together. :D

So beautiful. I love the subtle similarities in their faces.

Man. I'd kill for the amount of talent you have in your pinky fingernail. -flail-

Beautiful pairing!

I adore the use of paired amber in both paintings. Can't help but wonder if it's significant, and why.
