This model arrived dressed as the dance hall character she played in a production about the old west. She carried out the effect with a far-away look that told of another life, one different and better. The result was a richly colored and sensitive portrait.
"Another Life" -- 14" x 11" -- Oil
This model was in costume because she played a saloon girl in a colorful local production. She seemed to be in character, as well, as her mood seemed to drift to melancholy. Perhaps, the character longed for a better life. I emphasized that look and her rich hair color and her fair skin.
