100x100cm acrylic painting on canvas. Catha is my avatar in Second Life. I'm a geisha in this world. (the size is very important for me and 100x100cm is what I love for this work) Only add the zoom image to show better the real size. In the meanwhile I painted the frame red as her lips....Will try to make a whole serie of my Catha....

Possibly my favorite of yours...I've done a similar theme with my Shy (Seduction). I prefer your simpler pallete - I'd hang it on my wall too!!Reynaldo Villarreal 27 Apr 2009

Nelly, this is so fantastic art! I never see like this Geisha painting before even I am a Japanese. You have a greatfull original vision!julie Marks 26 Jan 2008
What a gorgeous avatar. I have been fascinated by second life and when I learn how to navigate this amazing "virtual" reality, I would love to meet Catha. Now I am inspired by your stunning artwork and the wonderful diversity of your extraordinary gallery. I don't have the time to comment as much as I want to, but know that I visit your portfolio to admire your work that always is refreshing and unique given your mind's eye and brilliant talent as a painter and photographer. I love your skyscapes that I also enjoy taking photographs of and people are surprised that in California we also have amazing sunsets and spectular cloud formations with vibrant color. I hope to see you in second life one day since I will can't forget the beautiful CathaRenata Cavanaugh 22 Dec 2007

Woderful geisha ! Great portraitDavid Holcombe 16 Sep 2007
An interesting departure from your landscapes. It has something of the oriental simplicity to it. The blocks of color are really subtle areas of shading. Nice, as always.marisa reilly 16 Sep 2007
The expression is what captivates me Nelly..and the loose brushstrokes on the kimono suggest a fine fabric..so pretty., the lips have an expression of their own, demure, ladylike, very polite, this is a great piece of work.Eddy collins 16 Sep 2007
very nice nellySteven Torrisi 16 Sep 2007
I love this Nelly, the delicate blush shades against the poweder white face with the blood red lips is in keeping with the Japanese fascination respect for nature, especially the Cherry Blossom strategically tucked in her hair.Ron DeMore 16 Sep 2007
