This is model Ami, from a 3-hour session at (the aforementioned Joanne Mehl's) Brush & Palette. We will have Ami back next week, and hopefully won't be snowed out for it. She is a gorgeous woman of Ukranian descent, dressed as a gypsy. You may not get any of that out of the painting, I'm never trying to do a portrait, although I am happy if there is some likeness. What I see here, after a few days of not looking, (and then looking again), is an expression of irritation and distrust. I think I'll leave off with her looking just that way. I painted her on "inauguration day." (Of what needs not be spoken here, I have other venues for that.)
