What a beautiful painting! Very "Girl with a Pearl Earring" but with a contemporary face and pose - John... I absolutely LOVE it! Especially the little blast of red on the right - creates tension and wonderful balance - exceptional. Thanks for sharing... -L.

Artist Reply: thnx Les, I really enjoyed working on this one too. the darkness is what made everything else whisper in the soft light. to me, its all about the light.

Great Use of chiaroscuro. It has a Caravaggesque quality about it.
