This is the wip I posted last week for PPF#3. In fact I had considered it "done" but Carla Rey was absolutely right when she said "Just look at that determined expression. I think she has quite a strong personality, and that you might find yourself drawn back to work on her some more. You might be done with her, but I sort of doubt that she is done with you."
And yes, here she is looking a bit more contented (her mouth is slightly fuller and has a hint of a smile). "What is the lesson (in this)?"
Working on her next:
I liked her head pose and hair but the colouring was going very wrong. Starting over, keeping the structure.
I must have been feeling kind of blue as I gave her blue skin and a grey background. She has orangey hair though. Still some fierceness in her.And now she is a redhead!!!
More on her next week.
I need to find a name for her. Specially since all three have been "her" so far.

I love that you are branching out and challenging yourself to do new things... I am loving the red head... she should be called Loretta after my mother in law... she is one determined red head...hope you have a happy and safe Easter ...xx
I love seeing her change- just like people do- we all change and develop!
Beautiful transformation, Paula. She was lovely last week and even better this week. How wonderful to be in a group of artists who are willing to add helpful criticism. Yay! for Carla Rey! I hope she will help me with my art, too.
Fun creations ~ lovely ~ keep playing and exploring ~ thanks, namaste, ^_^
How fun to see the transformations! Have a wonderful Easter!
I think each time you paint her, your use of paint is becoming freer and more interesting. Very nice!
Art truly is a process and a journey. I'm sure you are having a wonderful time with your discoveries. Wonderful to see the process of how your pages are coming out. Have a great weekend! Happy Easter and ppf. :-)

beautiful!!!!!I love that red hair, have a wonderful Easter Weekend !
I'm so glad what I said made a difference. Sometimes my paintings aren't done with me, either.
It's great to see the evolution of your next one, ove her bright swingy hair.
Lovely work, Paula! Happy Easter and PPF! Hugs, Deb
Hi Paula,
I like the end result, she makes for a very empowered woman.
Happy Easter : )
Oh I love your portraits...fun and stylish, and I like to see all the different colors. Is the one in red ME?? :)
Happy Easter, amiga!!
i like how she ended up a red head...fun to see your process...hope you have a great week!
Red is coming along beautifully and the words really add to determined girl. Maybe you'll find just the right phrase for Red.
Your gals are great. . each one appears to have her own personality. Blessings, Janet PPF
