Last night I went to a figure session with my friends Sarah and Gabriella (I posted pics of us on my Facebook page). It was a 3-hr session and about halfway through I completely wiped the face. Our model, Miranda, is very attractive and my first attempt made her look like a monster. I wasn't happy with my second attempt either, until the last 20 minutes, when it all came together. Even though the result still doesn't do Miranda justice, I'm happy with it.

It's beautiful Carol! Your handling of shadows is masterful!
I like it Carol. you should do more of these.
Wow, Carol! What a surprise for me when I received this post. I love it!
I always find faces the hardest thing in the world to paint or draw. I think yours look fabulous!
This is fantastic. Color, brushwork, values, everything.
This is wonderful - showing fast confident brush-marks and perfect values. The wipers were obviously an exploration which all came together in this fabulous painting.
Bet your heart felt a surge of pleasure.
This is in response to your Facebook post and the artist block Art Byte...
Neil Young has a concert film out called Prairie Wind. It can be streamed from Netflix. Right before he goes on stage we hear his voice say
