Default I love this work!

Wow, this has got to be one of the best works of art I've seen in yonks.

The face itself is so suggestive to me of other faces I could name but won't. It appears that you did have a particular face in mind, and it does resonate that way for me also. Though one famous face came to mind immediately, I have also let my mind roam over other possibilities....

But the spaces between the shades, and the forms of the shaded areas themselves are also suggestive. Wasn't it Mozart who said the music was in the spaces?

I guess I did know a Chinese brush could be evocative, but yours is both evocative and mesmerizing, approaching an optical illusion in its subtle suggestions and connections.

Thank you,
Sue
