    Ooo, just edgy and gorgeous, sis…wow. Love the heavy black strokes of the clothing in contrast to the delicate face…xoxo

  • mimi yoon replied

    thank you dear sister… i love doing bold frantic strokes as such… got rid of my headache that way… ;P
    thank you for pointing that out… i think you do notice that because your work too is bold and powerful yet so delicately fragile… xoxo

    Your skill at expressing thoughts/emotions/dreams in the eye, I have no words…..I am blank…

    I’m interested in knowing your mood when you created this. It’s beautiful but not soft as others. She looks hurt or angry, as do the strokes. Not that I want you feeling that way, but to me, this is one of your most emotive and best works.

  • mimi yoon replied

    hi cassidy… did this last night (late class on tuesdays)... i didn’t feel like setting up for a painting and was flipping through a magazine… saw a very blurry photo of an african male in black leather jacket with the most beautiful rich seafoam colored wall background… almost no details to his face… so~ i thought may be i’d draw him with charcoal… then about 40 minutes later… voila~ she was born… : ) i wasn’t angry or hurt… just had a bad headache since monday morning… quite unexpected answer, huh? : )

    thank you so dearly, cassidy…

  • mimi yoon replied

    hi chet, when i have my own art show, i’ll invite you cordially… this one will be very underground and loud and hip… i’m afraid i may not even fit in… we are even doing a family and parents time separately… thank you so so much for the interest… : )

    she is trying to tell us something with her eyes….Mimi help me…what is that?

  • mimi yoon replied

    hi lara… : )
    i am not sure… love drawing and painting eyes… my favorite thing in the world other than lips and hair…. and i do believe they always convey emotions and sentiments, but i don’t always do that intentionally… something that i cannot articulate or subconscious and most private thoughts come through at times… i think… thank you so so much for your support, lara…. xxx

    I like the deep mystery and shifting in this image ,,how the whole work is being held together by the triangle from the eyes to the lips and jaw line ,its a great example of how you have mastered refining facial features and then not relying on that ability to finish the figure
