The model later asked me, why am I all yellow? Exactly. What in the world am I doing? She's my favorite model right now.

I liked the initial sketch okay except for the nose. It turned out alright until the last 40 minutes, when I redrew everything and screwed it all up. That's pretty much my preferred working method.

This is the biggest canvas I've ever painted on--24"x30". It made me a little nervous, but I was so glad that my instructor (MB McKenzie) finally said I could give up on the 1- and 2-day small starts. Finally, a change! That was 6 long months, folks. I wasn't sure if I was ready, but I was ready to be ready.

It's not really finished, but I'm quitting on this right here, I think.

The photo's colors aren't very close to the painting's--nobody cares, right?
