[Denise Racine]

I love the softness of the facial features and the reflected lights. I would also love to see the detail of the hand.

The composition is very interesting. It's as if you were counter-balancing the shape of the head with the shape of the fan. I must admit the empty space behind bothers me a little.

Why do you write the subject's name on your canvas? I find that intriguing.

Thanks for sharing this painting with us.
