  A painting is not finished when it is put in a frame; it is finished when it is marked by the hand of the artist.

  

 -  John Singer Sargent

That's my version of John Singer Sargent's Lady Helen Venetia Vincent. 

A question of backgrounding - this portrait comes to my mind when I think about how important a background is. So I reworked it today, and I like how it turned out, and I hope you do too.

That's the first version of it
