This is an oil painting of me by an artist friend named Graham Hanks who lives in the UK. I have to say this is the first portrait that anyone has ever done of me and it is a thrill to see how another person sees you and captures you on canvas. Graham also knows that I love Orientalist art and he has chosen and Eastern background as the backdrop. Then he took it even a step further by giving me Egyptian jewelery which has gold leaf applied to it. I LOVE IT!!!

Love how he has placed you against that background and the necklace. Amazing having a portrait done.
You must have just put this up after my last comment. Good morning!
I love it and I wish I had black hair like yours.
It's beautiful, whimsical, and most importantly does look just like you, Enzie! :))
p.s. Obviously I haven't started a Facebook account. Just haven't had the time!
Beautiful!!! What a lovely compliment.
