Thank you John. I appreciate the positive feedback. 😊
The paint box takes one breath away. The jewel like colours. The gorgeous paint layered brushes. The palette suggesting a masterpiece waiting in the wings. And then the mysterious, enigmatic photograph of this woman. The artist? The model?
Thanks Virginia, this one is special to me. 🙂
