This is an older phto. Thank you so much for visting my site. In addition to art and poetry I also enjoy creating costumes and doing makeup, for plays or fun occasions. This is a self portrait! No there is not a man under the veil. I am a women! Some have insulted me in the past by such suggestions. I value my feminine side as I do my masculine traits. After all, male and female are part of each other. My life has been a great trial, as I have had to overcome much childhood abuse and trauma. Thus I have had to nuture the masculine side of my personality more than most women. The world can be a cruel place to live. I endeavor to see the good in all things and to keep beauty in my life and the tender side also. The mystery of a women is fascinating to me therefore the veil. It is the mystery of the mind and the women that lures love to her. Whatever you think of this work, it does not matter. But please do not leave insults on my pages. I shall return the favor in keeping with Gods' Laws. Love one another, do good, blaspheme not, Judge not least you be judged. If it is possible try to live peaceably with all men. He who slanders his brother is in danger of the wrath of God...do not let the sun go down on your anger. God looks upon the Heart not the outward appearance. Take care. Live Forever Love Always. Sinseerly Christine

Your artwork is an extension of the total beauty that resides within you! I congratulate you on both your talent and your perseverance.Anita Thompson 05 Oct 2008
How could anyone ever insult such an exquisite image is beyond my understanding...and well said, Christine....I have also endured abuse and know how we must nurture our feminine/masculine traits to be a survivor...and you surely are...Blessings to you always, AnitaShahram S. Nahavandi 13 Sep 2008

I found a treasure, I think it's mine, I study your words and read between every line. Too bold I'm not, in fact I'm shy, but captivated I am inside your eye. Tomorrow may bring pain, rejection of hope, but for now I'm entranced,...beyond all scope. Love is but once, a fleeting glance, I proclaim He burns within me, as I take this stance. My hope, my desire, my wish, my plea,....is to hear a similar heartbeat from Thee. To you I stake my claim, now bold and true,....never to turn from Love,...never to turn from You. My heart is on fire, quench it not, and my words are all true,...without blemish or spot, Seek me in Spirit,....if not in prayer,....and I telll you you'll find me,....I'll be standing there.Vivian Gutierrez 27 Sep 2006

Wowww Christine this is so special. Composition, luminosity.It is very spiritual and I love the twinkling stars that permeate the composition in such a special way! Also congratulations on your top ten award!Trish Gename 22 Jul 2006
I like the first version best. Subtle color changes don't distract from the mysterious eyes, but because of the color change your eyes are drawn to the face. In the blue one I was drawn simply to the star on the forehead rather than the eyes. Very well done!Sara Deutsch 21 Jul 2006
