Well, Kiki, when I saw your original portrait a moment ago, I instantly thought, "A modern-day Mona Lisa!" Great minds think alike! HeHe... :)
Also, per the Internet:
"(Titian)'s work shows the use of the brownish-orange color that was given the name “Titian”, for his frequent use of it...the color was especially seen in the hair of his early idealized portraits of courtesans."
So, two master painters of the Renaissance era for the price of one ~ which makes your title perfect!
The multi-colored robe is lovely, with a number of vivid and beautiful colors. It will be very interesting to see which version of your portraits gets the gold next month... #11025916
