Thank you for your kind remarks, they do mean a lot to someone who is working in isolation from other artists. It is especially warming that the portrait communicates what I intended it to. This picture was done shortly after June (my mother-in-law) had lost her husband of 45 years. I wanted it to portray a sense of fragility and vulnerability. The light is very important - although a veil has been drawn over one part of her life, there is still a crack of light. And she is a woman that I truly do admire in that she will use any opportunity to dance in the little light that does come her way. Thank you again for your feedback, it is very encouraging.
