Ah! It is nice to hear what someone else thinks about it! I was afraid her face was too concealed, but then, so is her personality, for that matter. Thanks for taking the time to post a message! I am trying to capture the essence of the person when I paint them, and I am glad someone else thinks this portrait captures her's. Sometimes detail isn't a factor, rather mood and feeling. :-) Most of my work is pretty 'tight' and a person once told me to 'loosen up! Show those brush strokes!' So...I attempted it. And here she is. (image posted above).

All the best!
