I really like the color on this and its glowing effect which makes the girl seem more like she's having a restful daydream.

Great piece. The airy quality totally brings across the subject concept.

how sad if teenagers don't keep diaries anymore (other than MySpace, which is hardly private).

thanks to your IF, i have a feeling that somewhere out there, there are still smitten girls in pink polka dot swirly skirts who tell their secrets to their diaries. Love it.
