Gosh, the caliber of work that has been posted lately makes me embarrassed to post! However, I can't learn if I crawl in my hole now can I? This is my first attempt at painting with oils in many months. I got so wrapped up in the fun and newness of pastels that I had no desire to paint. I felt like a pure beginner when I pulled these out.

I have taken liberties with her hair, she never looks that placed. While I chose this picture because this is such a typical stance these days with her hands in that position, translating it in paint isn't really working. Any thoughts appreciated.

Also, the reference photo below, isn't the actual reference, but it is very close. I accidentally deleted the one I used, the gaze is slightly different.
