Excellent colorization again Rob. The proper choice of the tones (in particular the color of her hair) has given Lady Billie Burke even more dignity than she already has.
S+F of course. Thanks for sharing another masterpiece, my friend!

She looks fresh but tough, as though she forgot her suffragette body banner at home the day she went for her portrait photo, the one that reads "Votes for Women". The red hair, green dress, and blue eyes also gives her an Irish appearance, also fresh but tough.

Billie Burke was an actress, well known in her day for her work on Broadway and in silent movies. We know her best as Glinda, the Good Witch of the North in The Wizard of Oz movie.

Superb work here, Rob!

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
