I'm intrigued by this image. It is serene, yet so penetrating. The eyes don't seem to focus completely on the viewer, neither do they look completely away.
Is she aware that there is a bee on her lip?

There is perfect tension between the overwhelming darkness of base colors and the bright blue and yellow, and to a lesser extent the red lips.

On top of that there is that skin color. Smeared with charcoal it seems, revealed by the edge above her upper lip.

What is just a portrait is transformed into something special by emphasizing and concealing certain core elements of the face, painting a contrast that sucks up all of my attention.

What do you think?

Right straight of that bat, this piece interests me. The title is a classic twist but it's the expression which I find mysterious. A sense of calm, as if this is natural which I suppose it is really. Beauty in it's most natural form, free from any artificial alteration, glitzy coverage and all that crap that we are told is essential to have us looking our best. Well what I see here is a person free from those 'essentials' and is perfectly natural and thus perfectly beautiful. It's true that sometimes we feel a need to add a little here and there to enhance our visage but always remember sometimes less is more.
