I really appreciate the scope of your project and want to wish you well with this! I would love to view the series in the future. The use of watercolor and gentle tones offers the viewer a real sense of spirituality. I encourage you to continue at a regular pace with this style of art work! The work is well balanced and although death is depicted the woman and the flowers offer a sense of renewal! Thanks so much for your submission!
This is an interesting composition exhibiting a rhythm and flow. Watercolor can be a very subtle medium and often some of the brilliance of the paper is lost in a reproduction such as this image. You have maintained a brilliance in some of the colors and the overall drawing is good. I would suggest a use of stronger contrasts in light values would add more impact to an otherwise well composed piece.
I find the execution here below par and leaves a lot to be desired.
