Bard of Tulsa,
Is Victoria not, instead, a swinger of birches? One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
Here is the other thing I'm ruminating: how much harder it is to get a paintable outdoor portrait photo than it is to get an indoor one. This is a pretty good one, I think, but how hard it will be to be subtle and yet not let the shadow side dissolve into a mush of color.
This is why so many portrait painters shoot the subject inside and place them outside. (I can spot that a mile away.)
Note to Wild Westerners: this has nothing to do with shooting 'em outside and dragging 'em inside. That's a whole other topic.
