Hi folks,

This is a girl who posed for a life drawing group. She was fairly young (19), quiet, and had a real country accent when she spoke. However, her face just did not fit any of these traits (I think you'll see what I mean). After pondering the picture in my studio I became quite entranced with it and have decided to begin. I later called the artist at whose house we met and he does not know how to get in touch with her. My great loss!

So, here's the picture. I made the drawing on a gessoed masonite board. I am about to begin painting it in oil, which I will be glad to post the pics as the painting progresses.

I always accept critiques from others, so have at...

Thanks
