Thank you, Michael, David, Chris and Bob! This just happened to be a tad better than the usual dud.
I really am not sure how much time I actually spent on it. She posed for a total of about 8 hours, so I'm estimating I got about two hours total time to work on this, but as I said that doesn't include the dress and flowers which I roughly blocked in from life and finished later from a photo. Usually my students are so impatient to start painting that they don't want to stand around watching me do a demo.
It's oil on linen, toned with umber, black and white.
