Lovely Lady



Hi,   I kind of put this gal together on my own.   I painted her face looking at one image and the rest I just kind of made up as I went along. I do believe you should always work from a reference but this didn't work out that way.  I did have a headband on her to match her dress and my husband felt it took away from her.  I think people that don't paint can still be a great help critiquing your paintings. This is in oil on a 10 X 10 stretched canvas.
