Girl With Turban
(by James Glackens )
Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece. ~Author Unknown
If you are ever in doubt as to whether to kiss a pretty girl, always give her the benefit of the doubt. ~Thomas Carlyle
Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely given them little. ~Samuel Johnson
No matter how happily a woman may be married, it always pleases her to discover that there is a nice man who wishes that she were not. ~H.L. Mencken
Women are never landlocked: they're always mere minutes away from the briny deep of tears. ~Mignon McLaughlin

Thank you so much for appreciating it. The beauty as they say is in the eye of the beholder. This one I had made to kill hours of idleness during my stay in Portsmouth in New Hampshire (quite close to Boston).
Rock Music is my biggest weakness -though I like Western Classical too. Followed by Tennis, Walks, Travel, Photography, Wine making.....
I am reminded of a favorite couplet of my father from Ghalib:
"Haazaron khwaashein aisi ke har khwaish pe dam nikle,
Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle."
One life time seems too less...
I found your blog very impressive. I do not know ABC of blogs. Need a coach badly to educate and train me.
All the best

Great to meet you here outside the Bigadda blog. Feels very different.
This is a famous painting - I will try to give you the details soon. I tried with colors and brush and the results were not too bad.
How can I desert Bigadda blog and lose sight of all the precious Roses, Daisies, Ms, gilgas, Reshmis and Sunils...No no no..
