Kim, I know I'm repeating myself, but this portrait is powerful because it speaks so quietly. When I look at it I feel as though I'm meditating. It also speaks to me on many levels. It's a portrait of your daughter, but it also goes beyond that, becoming a symbol of girlhood and innocence on the verge of maturity. But then it says even more--something I can't put into words. I'm awed by it.
