There's a lot happening here. I'd advise, circle the ring fast. It is a startling, magical monoku. My compliment to Chagall as well.

Maybe just a new boob job that she wants to shine. I know that would be an embarrassing situation for most young women. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Reads like a good contender for the contest. Sara K

August 24, 2024 at 1:57 PM

Whoa, Chagall painted a Janet Jackson moment before there was a Janet Jackson! His use of pastels is finely painted. Nice Monoku, Jan.
