Thanks Russ. Oddly, until recently I never thought much of this photo. Older and wiser, I guess.

Thats an interesting point. The expression may have been totally fleeting, and may have been there for a nano second. A photo will capture that. The artist absolutely missed that while mixing color and loading his brush...I know this pain!

It looks like the painter missed a lot of things. The painting doesn't much resemble the woman.
