Black is beauty..

This portrait represent Black is Beauty..
Black is a unique colour...The colour black represents strength, seriousness, power, and authority. Black is a formal, elegant, and prestigious color. Authoritative and powerful, the color black can evoke strong emotions and too much black can be overwhelming... she's dark skinned and she an African. Her clothes are black, she's has a beautiful dark hair.. And her smile is unique and beautiful... That's what makes her Black and Beautiful..
