Is this a reference to the character of Daisy in the Great Gatsby? A portrait of a little fool who is to be called a lady? Looking at this image, I don't know what to make of it.

This is amazing. I love the incorporation of such bright and happy colors with the gloomy concept of skulls and an even more dark composition in the painting your "lady" is creating. It's very great.

You captured a very interesting soul in this piece. Looking at it makes me feel many emotions and also causes a streak of inspiration. I love the use of color and the topic and possible symbolism behind the piece is very alluring.
