You captured perfectly the rich, polished mahogany glow of her complexion, and I like the way you showed the design on the fabric as it wraps around her head--not easy to do! This is probably my favorite of all your lovely, exotic portraits.
Artist Reply: Thank you so much my very kind friend, this is one of my favorite pieces also.
Artist Reply: Thank you so much Robin, its like each new painting is another art lesson, always learning and trying new things. It amazes me how the colors take on a life of their own
Artist Reply: From one Jo-Ann, to another joanna I thank you.

Dear Jo-Ann, as I may have mentioned before, these three (3) works are beautiful. Do you have any others that you will eventully put on your WEB site? I'd like to see more especially Winter scenes, trees, dear, doe's, buck's, etc. 'Kindred'...
Artist Reply: I am just getting started. You haven't seen nothing yet. Ha Ha
