Just finished this one. I actually started this one before
Diana but got tired of it and put it away - not really intending to finish it. It was done on unsanded paper and I didn't like the feel of it - especially after experiencing the very nice, sanded paper that I used for Diana. So I forced myself to finish this one in spite of my lack of motivation. I always liked the way the face was coming along, but everything else was pure tedium.
I took the photo of this woman at the same market where I photographed the old man in
Tak! Ukraine - I think the two were together, probably husband and wife. I think she has the greatest face/expression, but -
again! - not the greatest reference photo - light-wise.
Pastel, approx. 17 X 20" on Twinrocker (Cornflower blue).
