    i fell into the solemn look on her face.. an almost unfulfilled expression.. but the strokes around her, the blending and blurriness, looks like she is about to take flight despite herself. beautiful, darling one.

  • silverstrummer -  David Everitt

    silverstrummer...

    Oh mimi yoon you have done it again …..... another great painting and those eyes are a little seductive too or are they dissapointed eyes? Your work is so intriguing this image could also be looked at as being annoyed too …. her lips are slightly puckered also. Its just beautiful! – David :>))
