I Made a Pretty:

 

“…Freedom tasted like seawater and oranges.”
-Tana French, ‘The Likeness’

That quote ran through my head the entire time I was painting this:

I’m particularly fond of the shading I got on her jawline.

Man, I need a better camera.

 
I painted a great deal of this while talking to close friends on the phone…
which is rather unusual for me.

Normally,
I hole up in my room and shut everything else out and off when I paint.

It was kind of a welcome change,
but not something I’m likely to do on a more complex
(or frustrating)
painting.

This one treated me pretty well,
for which I am grateful.
