Thank you, ladies. It's been too long. Too many landscapes and not enough portraits. At least I've been painting something.

Just a note about the hue shifts, for those interested: I'm still using cadmiums! I apologize to those who are disdainful of them, but I find the over-saturation necessary as I layer and/or dry scumble. If you think about it, when you strip away the skin (ouch), it's pretty saturated, no? And skin is translucent, so in order to get that look, I find it easier to mimic those layers. I just can't seem to get that from the earth palettes. Perhaps I'm not facile enough, but there you are.
