Long ago and

faraway.  Refers to the look on her face and when this was done.  She was an excellent model and I hope she is doing well.

From some time ago

Early 2017.  Looks like just a start.

An underworked head study

I had to keep reworking this as the pose went on.  Not sure if there was movement or my eyes are just not what they need to be but I was having difficulty getting this where I wanted it.

Way to middle tone

This is one that I could push in the studio and really emphasize the deep shadows and lost edges.  Might be worth it just for the practice.

Happy Independence Day

Here's hoping everyone has a safe and fun day.  Just remember why we're celebrating.

Rough

I'm just missing my old line.  I may have to take a look at my materials or get my eyes looked at again.  Just not as happy with my figure work as I used to be.

Done this pose many times...

but this one really flummoxed me for whatever reason.  For as long as the pose was I really didn't get very far with it.
