Xueling, Great portraits! Love the colors you use...Brave of you to do a self-portrait. I haven't done one yet. When I do portraits, I strive to let the viewer know the inner person. That's what I would really want to express in my own self portrait...and maybe why I haven't attempted it yet. How will I present myself? Will it show my audience who I am? I think you've inspired me to try now. Thank you... In your portrait I see a woman who sees the world in a tender way. I believe you have a soft kindred spirit...and you bring love to your friends and family.... God Bless and thanks for our kind comments about my work. I'll keep checking in on your fabulous art. I like the flags! I'd love to do that too!!! Peg Selander
