Thank you very much, Charles!
This piece was pretty much experiment for me. Truly, usually I giving attencion for every detail, but here the fond is almost abstract, any detail there could draw attencion away from emotions and faces of characters. Working at this piece I mastered some new (for me) watercolor manners)

Interesting how this correlates with using the DOF (Depth of Field) in photography to isolate the subject of an image in the middle of other foreground and background visual "noise". Since I finally purchased a real digital SLR camera where I have better control of the various settings, I can use this when I photograph my figures. This sometimes means that some parts of the sculpture will be slightly out of focus, but it creates a feeling of depth, and narrows your attention in on the key part of the figure, just as you have done in your painting here.
Your "experiment" very effectively brings us into almost intimate contact with these two figures, to feel their emotions in the middle of the world which swirls around them.
