In the Light

This portrait was painted while our Wednesday painting group at Bill's (Bill Schneider studio).  We have a nice group of 5 and paint every Wednesday that Bill is in Illinois.   He invites us to paint with him,  there is such a wonderful camaraderie that I do not mind driving the 2 hours round trip to Lakewood!   I forget the name of the model but really enjoyed painting her while the 3 hours she posed.  How the light caressed her hair which were in various shade, from pale blond by her face to the dark brown in the back of her head.   Her skin glowed.  I picked this pose because I like how the light danced on her right bare shoulder and wanted to include it in the composition...I should have taken photos of her....but did not! So I am not touching her!
