There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.
Washington Irving
This is another painting that's been sitting in the corner for months and months waiting for attention. She's got a lot on her mind. Although she looks totally lost in thought, in my mind she looks like she could jump up and act on what's troubling her any second. Something's wrong ~ even if she doesn't have a solution yet though, she's capable of taking immediate action. She's open to be led by what her woman's intuition might tell her to do.
This is a very small painting so I'm going to have to spend a lot of time on the tiny details of her face. Her foot I'm leaving alone!

Very good work with the light, particularly as it falls on her thighs.
