Mila is looking rather Gauguin-ish here. Why do they call it "olive skin"? Wouldn't that be kind of green? I guess it sounds more romantic than lovely "yellow ochre"!!! I need to change the color of the draped fabric behind her... how did I end up with that sickly putty color? Oh yeah... I forgot my paints the night I started this. After four and a half sessions at the Falcon, I spent another 2-3 on her here in my studio. Several more to go to finish. I always end up being torn about these nudes... should I really spend my time finishing? Who wants to hang a nude up in their house anyway? So many other paintings I'd like to move on to.... and maybe I will. This may be it for Mila.
