Fantastic job! It's quite intense, and expressive. Lots of sensuality and sensitivity in the formation of the face, lots of emotion too, although quite quiet, I like this ambivalence, or even ambiguity, since she seems to be on the verge of tears or smile, one doesn't really know... Both, maybe...

Thank you! I read that exact ambiguity in her original expression. In her personality, too, there is some rough-hewn strength coupled with a yearning for things to be different. As a trauma-certified nurse both aspects and more are in play at all times in her work.

I'm hugely indebted to you for your thoughtful feedback and kind words!

No problem, Sir, it's my sincere pleasure!
