    I love it Mimi- beautiful.
    If I were to change the mouth I would prob just leave it relaxed and open like that because it captures that deep sleep well but would darken inside her mouth a bit maybe.

  • mimi yoon replied

    thank you anita…
    i’ll see what my mood says when i go to work and face it later today… xxx

    Dream sweet my love of pretty things wrapped around your neck.
    Of all the little special things you have always wanted.
    Dream on my love deep into the night.
    As I lie here next to you and count how blessed I am.
    I look at you so deep into a world I wish that I could join.
    But while you sleep I thank the lord you lie here next to me.
    Dream sweet my love your life is here in this world with me.
    I know that all your lovely dreams will bring you back to me.
    I hear you laugh in your dream I watch your little smile.
    I hope that all your dreaming of is with me by your side.
    But dreams are special little things made just for you.
    So dream on my love for you deserve all that you dream of.
    I’ll lie here quiet next to you and count the minutes till you wake.
    An when you come back to my world I’ll hold you in my arms.
    And dream that you an I can be like this… forever more.

    I agree with Anita about the mouth open, in fact it is so convincing that I hear you snoring… sorry, I was just joking a bit! :) I love this panting very much! Particulary, the eyelid and eyelashes are so sweet…very sensual!

  • mimi yoon replied

    ha ha~ it’s a quiet snore, right? comforting and music-like, yeah?
    thank you david… wish you a happy new year filled with too much love and success !!! : )

    I’m with you on the mouth Mimi..
    My honest opinion :) ..I see 3 lips….. but if the bottom lip is covered and the centre lip is left as is, then the serenity and thought of the pose would come through more.. That melancholic frown that would be left would add a desperateness to the overall emotion. But I appear to be on my own in making the change :P
    ...And Happy 2009 :-)

  • mimi yoon replied

    no~ one other person agreed with you and me… bbm me… 3 lips? :P
    thank you andee and wish you a happy new year !!!

    Mimi – another wonderful piece – I vote for leaving the mouth as it is as it seems a very natural sleeping pose and draws your eye closer into the painting.

  • mimi yoon replied

    thank you rachel~
    thanks for the vote too… i feel a bit lazy today and might just leave it as is… :P

    Gorgeous stance…...the conveyance of tranquility and rest is very much there – I too do want to see the mouth closed for some reason – there is a slight frown indicating a certain intensity, very much in accordance with your words. Nice addition to your portfolio Mimi!

  • mimi yoon replied

    thank you julian… first thing i saw and thought as i reviewed the image on camera screen was the mouth is wrong : ) and still bugs me… thanks again and hope your 2oo9 is bright and happy !!!

    It’s beautiful! So evocative and sensual, raw yet tender. Somehow the detail that is in it, is enough to bring this out without being too detailed. I love your work. Keep ‘em coming!
