Lauren

This is a very harsh picture of my painting of Lauren. She is the girl who sat for us last week, and since we did not meet today (Easter Monday), I will bookmark this work in place of today's.
I can see things when I blog that need to be improved in a painting much more easily than in real life. Perhaps because the digital image takes liberties with subtle nuances, basically eliminating them; it forces the imperfections into recognition. I learned a lot from the process of painting this one. I plan to paint over it and reuse the canvas: satisfying.
