Costas may be on to something. That looks like an early onset case of ennui to me.
ReplyDeleteMisery loves company – an old saying of my mother. She would say that often if I looked down in the dumps.
ReplyDeleteI like the portrait even if her t-shirt is misleading. Eyes go there, but see the unexpected. Isn't that a strange one?
Certainly some sadness in her eyes. Not sure why, as she's lovely and bound to become a glamourous MC lady one day.
ReplyDeleteYou got this one right, Jilly, and so did George.
ReplyDeleteLove the lighting...nice portrait!
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic portrait of yours Jilly. Like Barbara above I'm betting on her waiting for a date. I hope he comes...
ReplyDeleteI heard the rains were torrential indeed. Glad the hill didn't slide down on your house.
I'm sure she was smiling a few seconds later.
