I miss summertime!

Study of Candice

9"x12" acrylic on toned paper

And totally love sunglasses, perhaps because I feel I can't ever successfully pull them off. And the drama of thick, super-dark hair :) This one was a lot of fun to paint, even though I was scared to death of trying to do the teeth- can't make them too white or they look weird, don't want to make them look dingy, never quite sure what to do about the lines that go between them... so I took a nice middle-of-the-road approach on them, and besides, the real focus is on the dramatic sunglasses and the lovely way the light plays on her cheek.
