This is the third try for this woman. She's another model from my favorite painting show (I really need to find out her name). As an older woman, I wanted to keep some of her age but not be cruel. I think I managed a minimum of detail to suggest without using things unneeded. I honestly think she's lovely though I know nothing about here. I wanted to suggest a beauty somehow. I tried the same approach as I did with the last portrait and it simply didn't work. It just looked a mess. Suddenly, I thought about just making things more precise and I think that was the right decision. It's not the most flattering thing ever, perhaps, but I think there's some truth and a bit of beauty in there. Or maybe it's just the sake.
