A picture of Zora

I wanted to do a picture with this model, not exclusively a "portrait", by addressing compositional elements and exploring the feel of the piece. So this was a bit of a stretch, with the limitation of keeping it strictly from life and in the time we had with the model. It was fun to paint, especially trying to hit the different textures.

It seems everyone I know is off to the beach, so have fun and enjoy the summertime! Aloha!
