"Lovely model, elegant woman."
Indeed, Chris. This woman appears to have this awesome pure soul. She is absolutely radiating with an honest beauty that's captivating.
And once again, your palette just makes this portrait vibrate.

Chris,
I loved the shawl as a beautiful counterpoint to her caramel skin. Just lovely.

The shadows on her face are stunning. I, along with others, would love a closeup of the face and shawl (around the elbow area) please.

You are all so very sweet, thanks!
Here are some close-ups - I don't know if this the elbow you referred to, Jimmie - the shawl is really pretty loose.
In the face detail, that luscious red in the lower lip is www.studioproducts.com Pyrrolo Red ( $42/tube, and worth every penny) I am VERY stingy with this paint, and pull it out for special occasions, like moiuths.
Scott, Yes the shawl - it's actually a piece of fabric that I bought in both white and brown, and I used the brown piece, of course to wrap Alexandra..

The first time I saw this my mind added details, long silky fringe on the shawl, her other hand, and the dress underneath. It doesn't need these, I just find it funny that I can see a whole story; there is such mystery here.
