The colours and patterns were quite a challenge for me on this one. I do hope you can enjoy the results. Best viewed Full Screen. Comments and critiques are always welcome and appreciated. Thank you for looking my friends! :) Lori

Absolutely brilliant work, Lori. I particularly love the differing brightness on the gold Japanese characters, looking as if it's all backlit from a small single source.

Lovely work on the textures Lori. The shadows and highlights make for a great 3D look.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

What I really love about this is the design on the clothes she is wearing and the colour. Also that little fan, that's just gorgeous. The gold and red is just magical. Gosh, Lori, you really have a talent. I am so happy you do these, they are so unique, a true pleasure to look at. Thanx my friend!! Verena

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
This is quite the change for you and I must say, it looks great!The colour combination works well and I like how the protrait is placed off to one side over the background. I have a feeling you spent a lot of time creating this one and it was worth it!

p.s. Nice touch on the shadowing. Adds a nice delicacy of dimensionality in keeping with the thematic side of ... well, stuff.

A beautiful image and fantastic work Lori. Love the colours of the background and the stained glass look of the geisha. A wonderful job and very nicely done.

In order to discover who you are, first learn who everybody else is; you're what's left.
What a treat for our eyes Lori!! Such creativity here in this and your other "new" creations:):) I really love the pattern and clarity in her Kimono!! A beautiful piece for sure:):) Bravo!!

The Geisha looks like a gorgeous piece of detailed cloissonne jewelry, what with the very Japanese patterns in her obi and the fan, enhanced by the 3D character of the light reflections you've used. These women would also wear white makeup to give them a certain amount of anonymity but also to show purity. This is a stunner, Lori, an absolute stunner. As a whole I could see it used as a dust cover for a James Clavell novel. Faved for sure!
