Sharon,
As I mentioned in a previous post re: another portrait, this was painted pretty quickly (for me) for a show that I had this weekend. However, I did struggle with what I was going to do with the background and was never really happy with what I ended up doing - basically it was a make do. I think your suggestion of doing some color studies prior to painting the final is a great one - something I have not done before. I really wanted something going on in the background - at the very least I wanted to give a feeling of atmosphere - and I know that I definitely have not accomplished that. Her face became to orange and the last day I was madly trying to bring it back from the brink. Now that I am back home I really want to do something to make this work. I will do some studies as you suggest (maybe in photoshop) and then hit it again. I really appreciate your help.
Lon,
Thanks so much for your nice comments!
