love this one.. definitely more serious.. i’ve seen documentaries on geisha, how they have to train etc.. really not a easy life.. i love the way u paint the back of her neck most..

ElRobbo, 9 months ago

I presume you didn’t whip these up in a day, Karin!

Karin Taylor in reply to ElRobbo’s comment, 9 months ago

ElRobbo! that got a big laugh!!! Nope, these were done a while ago…I’ll be uploading my beach/friends series next, and then I may pop in a tshirt or two using my digital art. Most of this was also created a while ago too, but I’m having lots of fun uploading them and scoring all these lovely comments!!! Prior to this, I was definitely experiencing an encouragement drought. I feel so much better…..ahhhhhhhh…thanx

Karin Taylor in reply to frozenfa’s comment, 9 months ago

thanks again frozenfa :D glad you like. I love the back of their neck too…when I was painting it I was imagining how difficult it would be to do on the body itself – trying to get it so perfect – the japanese men think the nape of the neck is very ….ummm how should I put this ….attractive!

I LOVE THIS!!!!! I saw a TV special on the Geishas at few weeks ago, it was unbelievable to see how hard they train and what they go thru. It would be so sad to see this tradition go away. It is such a beautiful part of history. This is truely an outstanding image!!! Kim
