    Excellent work. I agree – this young lady looks like she’s being caught doing something she shouldn’t be doing – perhaps she dropped something and when reaching out realised she was being observed? Who knows? Just the creator! :o))

    Old books, old paintings, old wisdom is always good.
    Good written book is one when images are alive and you can nearly touch them, smell them, love them and cry instead of them. She reminds me Alice in wonderland, so curious, so young, and so fearful. Magical painting, bow to you great master of illusion.

    Beautiful, looks like she found something, but then someone, or something found her at the same moment, so she must wait to retrieve what she has found. Brilliant imagery

    linskudd – as usual she was following the directions of the creator -but you are correct – sometimes acts of defiance can occur!
