Julie, I am going to reveal the facts tomorrow.
In the meantime I hope that others will add their thoughts about the reasons why the two pictures are so different in expression.

I am probably prejudiced in my understanding of female artists intentions but I could'nt help thinking that the two pictures had typical character traits that match the Yin Yang concept.

Many years ago, I was attracted to a very tiny painting of an Italian nobleman done in the 14th century. I could not have been more than 9" high and exquisitely painted. What made it so surprising as well is that it was done by a woman and in the 1300's.

I have always signed my name with an S. rather than Sharon as I did not want people to judge me by my sex.

Alan, this would make a wonderful new thread. Was it or wasn't it done by a women- or what are the differences, are they perceivable? Do you think that you could do this?

Sharon,
It is a splendid idea, I will think about it, but I don't want to start a battle of the sexes

Alan,

I do think though, that this is getting off topic. When threads become off-topic they become confusing. The original thrust of this thread was about colorists. I do think that although this is an interesting detour, it is a detour non-the-less.

Alex,
what do you think is the female characteristic of this piece ?
