Portrait No. 18

oil on hardboard panel, 12" x 9"

This is the result of a 2-hour session with the model in profile, done with a brush this time.  I am generally happy with it, although I can see that I made her a bit younger than she looked to me.  I chalk it up to early experimentation with paint consistency using a new medium to increase paint flow.  Also, with more time, I would have added more shading in her face, which would have aged her somewhat.  As it is, she has a nice aspect and so I am pleased.
