morning rain braid


Today's model showed up with this adorable messy side braid. Apparently it looked great when she left the house but, she got rained on while riding her bike to the studio. We set up two heaters for her and, after a cup of tea, she did wonderful poses for us for 3 hours.

  6. Ciao Nora,
    questa modella sembra un po' in crisi...sarà l'acqua che ha preso...forse sente freddo nonostante abbiate cercato di riscaldarla...
    In ogni caso tu hai reso la sua situazione emotiva perfettamente!
    Ciao, abbracci, Floriana

  12. You caught well the drama of this model! So Intense face portrait and nude so lively.The green plaid enhances the flair!I love it!

  13. Your colours have captured what I see her thinking about - how she has been so cold and shivery, and she still imagines the rain which has filtered into the painting with your little scatter dots. A very emotive painting. Love it.
