Merci beaucoup, Didier.

I like this very much Mike

Thank you, Fabio. I was working from about a 100 year old reference photo!

I challenge you to go even further back! If you find a good picture, why don't you try to make a portrait of Eleonora Duse? Obviously if you want!

That sounds like a fun challenge. I accept!

I'm very curious to see her painted by you!

So magnificent Mike

Thank you for the kind words, Mellody.

Beautiful!

Thank you, Stephen. Experimenting again.

Always with great effect

Lovely tribute to "America's sweetheart", this style is a great choice for a portrait of timeless beauty.

Thank you for the wonderful comment, Vanessa. I've started a collection of antique tobacco cards of movie starts from the 1920s and that's where I got the inspiration.

You're welcome

"movie starts"? That's what happens when I type right after I wake up.

I hadn't noticed. Hey, you have no idea what crazy typo mistakes I'm capable of.

Wonderful style.

Thank you, Ahroya. I thought the style matched the time period.

Yes, totally.
