Have been trying to make portraiture interesting enough to sell on its own. This is the third of a series of 20x16 pastels on sueded board. I am trying to give realistic renderings of people, because I seem to lack the imagination to alter them from the likeness, the power to stand on their own, not as a portrait OF someone you don't know, but a portrait of someone you WANT to know.

This evening our model got all set up for a vacation in Mexico and I added the ocean view from her stateroom... (ok, I am not good at imagining things, but this is a real breakthrough for me!)
