The emotion that's been put into this... everything about this is beautiful. The colours are so soft and captivating... I'll repeat what has been said about her eyes, they shine. How could you not look at this and have your heart break? Brilliant.

This one stood out to me in particular from all the works in your gallery. The colors and the girl's expression are so somber. It really draws you in and makes you think about her and question.

I am glad that you are taking time with these paintings.
I had a cranky, jaded professor once who told me that "portraiture was powerless in our time..."
I am looking forward to settling down and reading more of your work.

Beautiful and unique, as all of your portraits are. Her eyes in this particular one though.... they really pull you in.

Somehow I knew you would respond to her... The eye thing, perhaps.
She is one of the few Asian children to have been abducted in the United States. A very rare case...
( In Asia, however, abductions of young females are pandemic, especially in China and Nepal).
Thank you as always for your support and enthusiasm.
