Tama Blough
Nice texture work! Especially like the right side.
mimi yoon replied
thanks much, tama… only texture is the pattern overlay… right side is pretty much painted brush strokes… : )
mimi yoon replied
hi tama…
please come back and take a look at it without the overlay…

BIG Fan
mimi yoon replied
hi matthew… hmmm… mimi yoon is an amazing name, i guess… ;P
thank you so kindly, matthew… and i am a BIG fan of your work… : )
JenniferB
A gorgeous, soft, dreamy version of the original. :-)
mimi yoon replied
i paint without thinking many times…. seriously i had no direction with this piece and still uncertain about it…. thank you for your kind words, jennifer… : )
Petra Pinn
they are both beautiful, but I like this (with the tamed hair) even better, looks more mysterious with the overlay (did you add that in photoshop?), i love the other one too, she looks like she is surrounded by smoke, stunning!!
mimi yoon replied
thank you so much for your kind compliments, petra… they mean a great deal to me…. : )
Tama Blough
I like the original too – I wasn’t sure if you had used actual paint paint or digital paint – lol. I might like it better without the swirly texture in that case.
mimi yoon replied
i do like it better without the swirls too… i think…. but i can have them both ways… one on canvas as shown on the right and one out of computer with the swirls… but the original as shown on the previous page is gone… pooffed... : ) thanx tama…
p.s. what’s on the right is all hand painted…
Euan Thorburn

Actually I like it with the overlaid pattern. Both look perfect though. : ))

Wayne Pearson
Excellent Mimi, I love the almost smoke haze and the textures.
mimi yoon replied
thank you so dearly, wayne… you’re so~ sweet… : )
smallfox
Wonderful image! I think it looks good both ways. It looks a little more serious without the overlay; the overlay is a beautiful addition, though, that softens the picture, increases the sensuousness. Fantastic, either way! Brilliant work, Mimi!
mimi yoon replied
thank you very kindly for your insightful comment… loved reading it and truly appreciate your compliments, smallfox… : )
Lisa Jewell
I relate to this stunning painting…..I often feel behind a wall, or a curtain….

Denis Dalby
The overlay adds a mysterious touch Mimi like looking out from another time.
mimi yoon replied
thank you so much, denis… i agree… : ) : ) : )

Ohh, you already know I liked the “before”, now I also like the after1 and after2, the steps you show us are so so intriguing, fascinating and elegant, perhaps that is the Acropolis behind her? Love the pattern, love the fact you paint and design, design as you paint as you design… cool!
mimi yoon replied
you’re awesome, syd…. thank you so much~ : )
