Jared Revell
wow again mimi….you know how much i love your art work, and I love this too.
..that look in her eye…she sees right through my soul.
i like the muted colours, to me, it gives off a cool dark mood…she’s a lady on a mission.
mimi yoon replied
thanks jared… dark mood is what i intended to create… and her stare was meant to pierce through the viewers, but i’m not sure if i have accomplished that… do you think she owns the canvas? :P
Derek Stewart

Cwithe .
is that a 美 kanji ?
mimi yoon replied
it’s 美 in chinese hanzi and is same in japanese kanji…. and i’m neither chinese nor japanese… : ) koreans when they name their babies, they use chinese hanzi for the meaning… 美 is a part of my korean name and 美美 is my american name… simple~ ;P

Cwithe .
oki i had no idea that Korean are also using hanzis for names ! thats an enlightenment for sure !
i did presume u are of a korean descent . i kind of gathered my thoughts into a concept of how to distinct that. i might tell you one day how huihih. how about you, can u tell ?
and thirdly, so ur name does mean beautiful ! and 2x beautiful when american :))
how suitable .
