Wow this is very dramatic looking and as a look of the 1940s with the markup and coat that she wears.I also colours and effect you applied to her face too.Well one to a lovely post.
My favorite model! I love what you've done with her, she's so colorful. I really like the view to outdoors just behind her too. A superb work my friend!
She needs a little moisturizer, Rob, or maybe some wood oil. I once had a girlfriend that with a similar complexion. We broke up because I kept getting splinters. She eventually died of termite damage.
Beautiful job with the manipulation. You also have a way of using black to highlight the brighter areas. Most people are afraid of the dark, but you're not one of them.
