Good Morning, I painted this yesterday, completed most of it while painting with my Monday morning painting group. I normally don't know what I am going to paint until the night before unless of course we are doing a still life together. This image came out of a book on the old west, it was a small black and white image. Have to make up your skin tones when you do this and sometimes there isn't good lights and shadows in the photo either. Anyway I think I'm pretty happy with this, she has an interesting look I think. This is in oils on a 11 X 14 canvas panel. Have a great day!

Wow, putting skintones to a B & W is tricky, you did a great job, Barb!
