This piece was requested by a beautiful lady as a birthday present, she turned 40 a couple of days ago.

She told me she wanted something that represented her and I thought that making her something that showed her that she is still a very beautiful woman, she did not wanted to pose to me because of shy issues, did not quite get it, may be I was to obvious on she being a beautiful woman.

I ask her if I can post her painting here on steemit and she told me there was no problem, but did not wanted me to post her picture so I owe that one.

Here is the painting finished.
