It is more of a deep contemplation or commiseration, or perhaps even the complete opposite --- Shakti/Kundalini, the presence of a 'loving sadness', as though the gaze or stare from her eyes were not focused on anything in particular here in the world, her spirit momentarily in silent awareness. I don't really know how to describe it fully with words. Now that I think about it, I guess i should have tried to come up with a better word than 'worry'. Anyway, I think you are a gifted artist and an exceptional specimen to represent the human race.(and yer pretty too) Dernit! I bet if ya added wings here and there you could give Michael Angelo a run-for-his-money paintin' church ceilings. :] wake. Hi Magz,

Maybe she's expressing what I felt that day: I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish something worthwhile in the short amount of time we had. There were dozens of artists packed in a small space, and we kept tripping over each other. And Wagner opera music was blasting just behind my head! Thanks, I always enjoy hearing (reading) what people think when they see a painting. Maggie :) That’s interesting, I suppose the girl in the foreground does look a bit worried.
