Portrait Friday

I've decided to start a new feature, to go along with "Hottie Monday" and "Heroine of the Weekend"--Portrait Friday! This is mostly to help me out when I have nothing to say (!), and also help start out the weekend on a fun or interesting note. Our first Portrait Friday is Gainsborough's "Mrs. Richard Brinsley Sheridan" (1785-87). Gainsborough is one of my favorite portrait painters (along with Sargent and Vigee-Lebrun), so I am sure we'll be seeing him a lot here...
