Truly beautiful - you are my inspiring person of the day. I have my MFA, have laid down my brushes for my young family, and have honestly been wondering lately if I could pick up where I left off. If only I can do it as well as you have!
Don't know if you're familiar with the painter, Frank Duveneck but this reminds me of his "Guard of the Harem" It has the same feel and texture. Check it out!
P.S. My mouth is still dropped open from awe at this portrait. My goal is to one day be able to do such lovely portraiture! I think this may be the best portrait I have ever seen. I believe you need to enter this into any portrait contest--you will win.
I came from China and live in San Francisco bay area now.
I got my BFA from China, MFA from Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and now I am on the graduate-school faculty at the school.
Please enjoy my blog, and I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions about my painting. I really hope my work can bring you a piece of happiness today.

How long did you spend painting this?
Jala, thank you for the encouragement! It was a one day pose, about 4 to 5 hours.
