Closer to window

Hi Michele,

My problem when I move her closer to the window is that her face is half in shadow because the light is hitting her face from the side. I'm squished up against the wall and even if she's two feet away from the window, when she turns to look at me, half her face is in the shadow. That is why I moved her away from the window, so when she looks at me, I could try to get more of her face in the light. See my dilema? I hope I'm explaining this right. I even took a few where she was closer to the window and I opened the french doors and stood OUTSIDE.

Oh, let me show you one of those. Here it is below. It looks cooler, don't you think?

Thank you Michele for hanging in there with me and trying to help me solve this problem. I really appreciate it.

She is planning on coming over tomorrow so I can paint a little from life, I could shoot more photos then if I could figure out what to shoot! So you think the one below is an improvement?

Joan
