Hi Michele,
Thank you for your comments. Yes, I see what you mean about the brighter light at the bottom half of her. She was standing about 4 feet away from my south facing french doors. I had draped a neutral cloth over the bottom half of the french doors. I didn't want light coming UP onto her face, I've had that problem before and I wanted to avoid that. I wanted the light to move down instead of up.
We have a brick patio outside the windows and our house is brown brick, so I don't understand where all that light is coming from on the bottom half of her. I thought it must be a reflection but there isn't anything for it to reflect off of.
My house only has 9 foot ceilings so I don't see how I could do this any differently. I don't have a place where light can come streaming in from above. All our windows stop about a foot from the ceiling.
The only thing I can think of is to have her come back again and this time kneel so she'll at least be a little lower. I used that flourescent lightbulb I was telling you about to supplement the daylight coming int he window, but that should be a cool light (daylight).
Oh, the tip of her nose is actually on the red side. I'll just have to minimize that when I paint her. Or try to get her in a cooler light.
Thanks again,
Joan
