Working on this every day.  Another view tomorrow, I hope.

Can't actually recall when I did this.  2010 maybe.  Remains a favorite!

I'm working this through with some obvious line work punctuated (or so I'm thinking) with jabbing, rhythmical and swirling brush strokes.  The brushing is almost as much fun as color placement.

The natural beauty in this area really inspires creativity and offers the opportunity to discover interesting and new ways of looking, seeing and painting.

This is it!

Detail/oil on board

I've lost count of the layers of paint and adjustments to line and color on this.  What difference?? I think she is a completed image now and the process was so wonderful I'm moving to the next thing asap.
