This is another hair alternative that I like (probably bunned up in the back). It gets to be more about her face than her big hair, not to mention my ability to interpret it.
There are plenty of other challenges in this composition (simplify, simplify, someone said). Not the least of which is the flute. Why not holding an apple, a lemur, or a crysler cordoba with rich corinthian leather?
This image is cropped from a photo I took last year. I think I could get her back, snap this image in context, and make it work. And when she comes back to model the pose, have this do in place.
Still pondering the issue. I started the sketch on canvas yesterday.
