Brilliant portrait West Phalia. The colors are exquisite (this from an admirer who only does B&W). Well done.

Another blind hog situation. The color OTOH is HNCS, unusually and consistently good. Yeah, the light helped. Noel was trying to talk me into buying two of his wonderful watercolors. He succeeded. ;o)

A serious portrait that makes you think.
Is the whole page like this, or is it just me in this mood?

Thanks Brambling. It does make me wonder whether the lighting could be considered Rembrandt. 'Does have a bit of a triangle of light on her cheek, shadow side of her face, but it's faint.
