"All is vanity and vexation of spirit."
--Ecclesiastes i. 14.
I spent 6 or 7 hours doing her 3 inch face. One hour and a half solely on her lips. And... no luck.
Her posture is undefined (on purpose) and her cloak is out of proportion in an attempt to center the frame a little ...a matter of personal (dis)taste.
I'm in love with Gustav Klint women. I'll go to the Thyssen museum soon to see if I catch some of his drawings.
It's not going to be long before I get started on nudes and self-portraits. No worry: I will do both separetly!
