Very very good Sharon. I can see that one hanging in a gallery in years to come. Great title too!

Re: Dreams...schemes...and coffee cups.
Did you have McBean's 1951 portrait of Audrey Hepburn in mind with this one? I immediately identified with that.

Not sure why as they are not identical in pose but.............

Re: Dreams...schemes...and coffee cups.
Yes that's what does it for me Sharon. It was my wife's high cheekbones that had me smitten all those years ago. Originally Posted by Daisy Mae

A very dramatic pose...I wonder what she is thinking? -- something in the immediate future or a fleeting memory of the past?
