Americans such as muself either think of a Geisha as a Japanese prostitute or as an entertainer or more of a social gathering type performer beng trained in dancing, singing and playing instruments. The correct definition is the second with the first coming from misconceptions from after the WWII occupation. There is actually a lovely website on Geisha here [link] if your interested in reading more.

This piece was done because I wanted to do something with an asian feel, something a little softer yet hopefully where you can tell the lady has some character. I realize the hair and skin textures are not quite right, as well as she should technically have a kimono on, but I don't own quite the right props. Hopefully everyone else will enjoy viewing this as much as I have.

Quite lovely! You get your point across very well, even without "all the right props" ;) Nicely done dear! :hug:

beautiful. You're right, I'd never quite gotten what a geisha was until I read the book, "memoirs of a geisha" and even then I wondered about them. I'd wanted to do something like this forever but I didn't feel I knew enough about the culture to try. :)

Thanks for the great link and what a beautiful picture you've made!

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do; the fun is in having lots to do and not doing it.

Thank you! I wanted to include the site link to go with my explanation since both ideas are out there. I must admit I don't know a ton about Japanese culture but they are a very cultured and elegant people.
