Thank you for taking the time to do this Mischa. I see the point you are trying to make and will in fact incorporate some of this especially the background.

The corrections of her face are pleasing however, they don't really read the woman the way I had. There is something about the somewhat harshness in her face that attracted me to paint it, something that tells a story about the woman of that time. Not so much that she is a soft and beautiful person, but that she is, like the rose, lovely but not as approachable as one would like. The difficulty of being a woman of those days is reflected in her face, yet she is strong and persevering. Maybe I'm just going off on a tangent here, but I thought about these things while painting this picture. Just me rambling now I think.

Thank you.
