Kimmers, it's a WONDERFUL portrait!!!! your beautiful eyes draw me right in!!!! It's good to show your sides! soft and sensual sometimes. other times playful and silly. and sometimes strong and determined. anyway you show yourself, you radiate a beautiful glow! You are beautiful inside and out!!!!

Can relate to everything that you said but sometimes it pays to be brave. You are beautiful and have done yourself so proud with your self portrait. Shelia is right, there is something about your eyes ...

Remember when you were new here and really shy? I do. Look at the following you have now. Know what - it's well deserved. I think it's because your art all comes from within - in a sense that's true of everyone's art, but with some artists (like you) it's different. Frankly, I don't think you want to hide at all. I think you want to be vulnerable, but to find that vulnerability repaid with kindness. I think this because it's like you're putting yourself on the screen every time -no matter what the subject matter is. I felt that way the first time I saw the first image of your daughter. The image could be anything (even a porch you loved), but it's a slice of YOU that's coming through. It's no surprise to me to see all these wonderful comments. And they are especially appropriate here. Without ever having seen your face, we'd all know you're beautiful. It comes through in everything you do. Looks fade, beauty endures - you've got both, but it's the the enduring beauty within that touches us!! Great job here - as always - and feel good kiddo! You rock!

Very beautiful portrait. That's the image you accept to share with us. It's not so easy.

So very lovely and comfortable! Bravo!

Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How sweet of your self-portrait..... very nature expression captured..... lovely frame as well:) V***

This is just BEAUTIFUL (I will go to the Forum later...) :~)

This page has turned into a novel LOL. If I was you Kimarie, I would post the image that I liked the best and make myself happy.

A very beautiful portrait Kimmie.....V

........................ Beautiful fantastic Beautiful ........................

Beautiful portrait of a beautiful woman,Kimmie.V

Agree with Marylynda,you sure looks very beautiful,a very lovely portraitV HUGZ :))

Beautiful photo - beauty and talent !! what a combo !! :)~V~

I think you did wonderfully composing this picture of yourself.Self-portraiture is sooooo difficult,in so many ways.You've created a mood with this shot, it is revealing about the subject(you) as all good portraiture should be.Lovely expression.That must be some pillow!(LOL)I wonder if it would also look good with just the eye color done (since I love selective coloring).Great work Kim!

Dear Kimarie, you are really beautiful!! We knew your heart was before, but now we know all of you is, too! Really great photograph - and I'm sure it was hard to do. Self portraits are always difficult. I do a lot of self "photographs" because I act out my poses, but I'd never show anyone them - they are pretty aweful as I tried to bend around, etc. Really beautiful and really excellent work!! Love, Meredith

Finally!! Now we have the face behind the stories!! Your eyes tell us all we need to know. A loving and caring soul I see!! I also see pain!! Hugs Kimmer!!

Very beautiful portrait. Nice smile, fantastic shot and great gallery!!

You are beautiful Kimarie, gorgeous portrait here !! really superb work !! :o)

Ah purdy and well as talented

Pretty face and clean photo.
