This is my son's girlfriend, Sam. She is normally a very vivacious, smiley person with a great big toothy grin. I really like this shot, though. Maybe it's just me, but she looks like some kind of Nordic mermaid. I guess that sounds silly, but I find the gaze compelling. The question is whether or not it's a quality reference shot for a painting. I'd appreciate any input on this.

Thanks, Janet
