Hello, all.

Here's another oil painting that I started while I was working on my previous post, "Kim", and is still sitting around the house. Like the previous post, this one is part of my attempt to form a portfolio of "portraits". This one was started back in February and is unvarnished, so modifications will present no particular problems. It is 11" x 14" on a maple panel prepared with acrylic gesso. I'm posting a photo reference and a quick charcoal drawing that was done at about the time that I took the photo. The only gross distortions of which I am aware are the color of the lemons in the foreground and the whites of the eyes. The lemons are a much more saturated yellow, and the whites of the eyes are more subdued than what appears on my screen. I try to edit these things so they look right on screen; but, hey, we're not painting for the internet, so it's not worth it to spend too much effort getting the digital part perfect. Without further ado, here it is:
