Jennifer- Good morning my friend. Sensational look and feel to this one.
I love the texture you applied. Gives it that antique look. Love the pose and the hood seems to work so well in putying some mystery to her. The eyes are so enchanting. I love the sepia look and the tones are exquisite.
A masterpiece.
Have yourself a most wonderful day, take care, enjoy #5937510
