This is the painting from my weekly meeting of my painting group the Dirty Palette Club. My friend Claire came up to pose for us this week and it was a lot of fun, though this was a tough painting because of the angle and the shadow side of her face. I wiped this out 2 times before I got what I wanted--still I got something and lost something--but that's how it goes, I wanted to keep this looser like a study, 11 x 14 in oil. Claire will also be modeling for some of my Super Sad paintings.
