    What more can I say. Was this done using Xara or is it a picture of one of your paintings?

    Lovely, Maya. Lovely Maya.

    It might be interesting to see what would happen if you accented one area by holding back on the feathering. Maybe one of the eyes and cheeks?

    Just a thought. Beautiful image.

    Subject and technique! It looks very much like an oilpainting. I admire you're ability to get the soft look of the iris in the eyes; and the hair is excellent. I'm still fighting with the hair on the portrait I've been working on for weeks now.

    Great image.

    That is absolutely incredible! The technique you used makes the piece look organic/non-digital.

    Great pose too - lots and lots of character!

    You are a stunning woman, Maya! And truly an artist!
