It was immediately clear to me that this was some kind of Medieval like tomb rendition of the buried person within. Your warm colors are perfectly combined with the soft blue inclusions. And I also like the way you included some intricate details of the armor and the chain link. The figure looks like it was made with clay, though it probably wasn’t but you capture the colors effectively

If I ever get back to NY I want to visit the cloisters because of this painting. Funny though, that when I see these kind of burials I always immediately think of how I would sculpt one. I think you captured the sculptured look well. It looks weathered, as if the air itself has worn away the sharp edges.

If you want advice I say to keep on trying because you’re doing very well. Just remember that there are no failures in art.
