Ok, here she is.
I am reluctant to post the photo because I have not actually reimbursed her for her time. We have a courtesy to tip the model if we photograph a pose, but these were some snapshots among friends for a little article I was doing about a session of marathon figure studies.
So far 90% of my commissions have been from photos. They are a necessary evil for me for landscape too, because I faint out here in the summer.
The main drawback for me from photos is interpreting the colors. Looking at a pink cheek on paper is not the same as a pink cheek in the studio. Must say although this is a bit "white" with not very rich lights, the shadowy tones are a lot more colorful than I thought they were coming with people breathing down my neck. I don't think the composition is its strength, but it was all done, start to finish during the two hour bidding and pitching of the auction. 14" x 11". It would look nice cropped into a 12" x 9"!
Here is the photo and I think the neck will be self-explanatory.
