Mango Queen, work in progress

Mango Queen, also known as Ginny Wang, is partner/manager of the Mango Cafe, coffee shop in Taiwan and also a very accomplished artist. Her work can be viewed here on flickr at her 'Mango Queen' site.

She graciously gave me permission to paint this portrait of her.

At this stage it is a work in progress and doesn't really do her justice. If you go to her site you'll see she is a beautiful young lady and has a delightful Mona Lisa smile that I haven't captured (OK Leonardo I'm not! -grin-).

I'll let this portrait rest for a week of so and then see what happens.
