Feedback from Rachael: The style of the portrait was not what I expected, I was thinking of something more along the lines of vagueness and softer colors when my sister described your work to me. However, when I looked at the portrait, I kept staring at it like I was mesmerized because I couldn't put my finger on it what it reminded me of. Then I realized it - the style with the bold colors and defined lines reminded me of a tarot deck I had just bought the day before. I have a few decks of other cards from other authors such as Sonja Choquette and Doreen Virtue, but I hadn't been drawn to the tarot yet. What is interesting is that when I was shopping with my sister, the day before we met with you, I was drawn to that specific deck, that happened to be tarot, and I just HAD to buy it. I had been carrying them in my purse because I loved the style of the cards so much. Oh yes, I should tell you, I am absolutely mesmerized by the colors and style of your work that I just kept staring at it saying "Hmm, I look kind of mystical. I could stare at myself for hours. I'm so in love with myself". I had to laugh out loud at that self talk because self esteem has generally been a struggle for me. So you have gifted me with a version of myself that I like to look at! Thank you!
