Shouldn't there be a tobacco pipe floating above her head? Symmetries break - that is where all the fun hides in plain sight. Even better, the word "pipe" rather than the object. When somebody comments, say "it's really a metaphoric apple."
A background of violent vortices in heavy paint, perhaps as a Penrose tiling, gets the critics humming and the price up. What is true art but a tax avoidance mechanism for more deserving others?
very nice job indeed. I like the choice of colors, the lack of anything else to focus on except the subject, and -as others have noted- the magrittesque layout.
Cheers, T.

As a postscriptum to my earlier post about The Beauty of it All, here is a photo of my latest painting. I made it after a sketch I took from Chanda's back during a seminar.
"Beauty in Physics"

Hey, nice job. You should have got her to hold a mirror, and painted that too.:) There is more then just that way, of doing symmetry? :)
Does she know?
From the outset, then, symmetry was closely related to harmony, beauty, and unity, and this was to prove decisive for its role in theories of nature.

Hi Plato,
thanks :-) Yes, she knows. Have a nice weekend,

Some appropriate Kipling, on art and truth (physics):
The tale is as old as the Eden Tree - and new as the new-cut tooth -
For each man knows ere his lip-thatch grows he is master of Art and Truth;
Meanwhile, we had a windstorm in the Seattle area.

The painting gives me the sense of being in one's own private world even though a seminar is going on.

wow, this is gorgeous! I wish I could paint like this. Did you try oil colours? If not, you should. Ciao,
