Oil on panel

6"x 6"

A change of pace from fruit and so forth--a little portrait of this young woman in Belfast, Maine. It was 90 plus degrees, and terribly humid. I asked if she would pose for some photos, which she reluctantly did. I almost always ask, just to be polite, and people almost always cooperate--only once did someone let me know that he was absolutely not interested! I am trying to accomplish a portrait a day, as well as my other daily painting--maybe a little too ambitious, but I actually find it kind of energizing.
