"Just for this hour, I invite my real self forward to speak her pain, anger, love, and loss. After I write, I feel calmer, healthier, and stronger. Every time I fling an internal demon onto the blank page, that demon turns out to be much less scary than I thought she was. I am becoming less afraid of myself." –Glennon Doyle
Yes, she is! Did you “paint” it after doing your eyes-brighten skin-smooth thing? I think her skin is overly smooth; maybe you could “paint” a less-edited version to get more brush strokes? (As always, freely disregard any opinions with which you don’t concur!)
No way, Jo, I appreciate your comments! I did this one a little different, I did a major surface blur on the picture and then painted in everything but her skin, then I sharpened the picture so that you could see the brush strokes. I still have a tough time with making brush strokes on the skin look right, so I just didn’t do it at all on this one. :)
Beautiful!
