Tonight, the lady is nothing but worn and forlorn. After a first week back to work after an extended absence, one finds at the end of the week, no strength is left. One seeks solace in the comfort of family and friends...there, comfort is found to soothe the soul deep within. Strength will return will the love and caring of those around whether in real life or here in cyberspace. Friendships abound, everywhere. Thank you to all, who have seen me through this rough first week back to the "real" life. It is appreciated. Here is V3 and Morphs from DAZ, Gloria MATS from TamelaJ at RS, Senusa Pose by Firebirdz at RS, Sapphire Fox Hair and MATS by Quaker @ DAZ, Portrait Background by Maggee at RS, ProRadiance Lights by danea at RS, ILA Hair pose by Firebirdz at RS, expression mine and modifcation of Sensua pose as well. Poser 6.0 used and PS 7.0 used only for signature. Comments are welcome and I hope you enjoy. Yes, I promise to stop doing so many portraits -- but want to learn this as well as I can before I move on to something else! (For those who were wondering.) Later. PS -- Here's your lime green, gidget. I got it in there just for you. Am surprised you are the only one who noticed the "trademark" item of mine missing. Good job!! Edited at 9:28 am EST
