Description
Recently a friend had to undergo a biopsy for a lump in her breast. In honor of her courage and and that of cancer survivors I've known, and in memory of a grandmother who died of breast cancer, I decided to rework an older image. (The original image was posted in the Bryce gallery as 'reflections of beauty'.)
I wanted to convey the feeling that she is saying to herself, 'to heck with the makeup, I'm already perfectly beautiful!' Did I come close?

You did. Her Expression says more than thousand battalions of words.

Thank you m'lord. If this image only touches one person, then I am satisfied with my work.

Really nice image, i to think that her expression is very well worked and conveys just what you were looking for in this image the reflections are stunning, i like this v much and iam sure i your friend will also be stunned and flattered by this pic. after losing a family member to cancer when i was a child i to can relate to this subject matter. Repect and keep up the good work.

honstly i like this image more than the original not only for the story it is based on,but the mirror2mirror reflection has a more impact in the center of the scene and indicates the times she sat in front of the mirror to come to the conclusion that she is beautiful already.....You know what they say: "You dont love a woman because she is beautiful.....she is beautiful because you love her..." well done

Dear, this is a VERY touching peice. In this relm of art work. (Being a regulare pencil paper artist for so long before I ventured into Computer grafix) It is hard to come up with a concept theN relay it to computer art and still get the meainig "behind the paint" accross. This peice is wonderfuly positioned framed and spoken. Very nice job ~DK~

sburg, Scoetie and daemonknight - thank you all for the nice words. The friend mentioned as part of the inspiration for this piece was very touched as well. smile I may make some other pieces featuring chemotherapy patients, to further demonstrate the beauty and strength of these women. giggle Of course, I may also be responding in part with a counter-reaction to all the 'beautiful barbarians' with the long wild hair featured so often in these galleries! I love 'em too, but as Scoetie said, a woman is beautiful because you love her - hair or no hair!
