I think this is the best of the three versions you posted. It gives us a greater field of vision and therefore more context. The two-faced woman looks quite natural in the middle of this art installation. An imaginative and very well-executed picture

my friend Elbe Coetsee in her Craft Art Gallery in Cape Town, South

Africa

A wonderful portrait that portrays what seems to be a woman with many responsibilities and the ability to give attention to them all. (Those song lyrics: "I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan..." come to mind). Also her placement in the room is a good one: the contrast between the brick wall and her head and torso make it easy to distinguish her from the background. One still sees the interesting background, but your friend is clearly the focus of this piece.

FWIW, I'm glad to have discovered your work, Bettie. :-)

Thank you so much for your detailed comment, Amy. you have summed up my friend so perfectly well. She will be pleased

Bettie, Beautiful artistic and spiritual image. Indeed, a gallery owner has to regard art from several points of view. Best regards, Marco

Marco, thanks for adding the 'spiritual'. Untill you now mention it, I wasn't consciously aware of it. But that word is very apt to describe this gallery owner/curator.
