Alex, such a complex and satisfying painting to look at! There is so much there, that I forget to even view it as a painting. You've told a story and written a book and brought her to life all at the same time. This I like.
Wow, Jean, to think you forgot it was a painting! Thanks for all you said. I try to do these things, and it's nice to know you feel I did. It kind of balances things out since I am rarely satified with my own efforts.
