A stunning portrait! There is so much character in her face and expression in her eyes. Interesting pose, she seems to be holding up her head as if tired, but the rest of her body language states the contrary.

Stovepipe from Ames, Iowa, United States

Lots of character, and texture there, and she seems to have a secret or two.

Also, is she pulling her head out of her neck??
