Lady of the Valley

I finally got this one done. I was happy with the original drawing, but I could not recreate it on the painting surface. I use tracing paper to get my drawings onto the painting surface but for some reason, it would not work out on this one. I even painted the face white and started all over. Usually paintings aren't this hard but I'm very happy with the end result. My drawing which you can see a few posts back looks like the photo. The photo was taken in a way where it's a nice photo, but doesn't look like the model as much as I would like. In having to redo this, I got the semblance of the model more than the photo. I know her well, and I guess the drawing of the photo which didn't completely look like her bothered me. And this is a tall painting, so I had to work on her sideways, as that I do not like easels, but instead work with my paintings flat on a bar stool. We all have our own little ways. As for the Title, I was listening to the White Lion song Lady of the Valley and liked the connection in my mind between the painting and the song. Everyone tale care and have fun!
