Here in Scottsdale, we have this parade every February. It happened to slow me down today on my way to the open studio at the Scottsdale Artist's School, which I attend religiously! Our model today was suitable to the occasion. Although she is mature, I think I have over emphasized the age, because she is very archetypical of a breed out here.
The lack of flattery may not make it a good portrait, since it is neither supporting feeding or even acknowledging such a thing in the sitter, but I welcome comments from the pros since I am aspiring to make income with these. ANY help would be appreciated.
