Description
Pastel on Paper, 70cm X 50cm.Portrait of Jessie, also called Cat or Katt
WIP slide show can be found here --> [link]
A step away from my usual lack of props, which is because as I always maintain I work with my models, so the parasol and such where her idea of how she wanted to show herself.
I've recovered from the burnt out, I think its good
looks far more sharp then it seemed at the time, when you are involved with a piece you see nothing but faults that you have to try and fix.Updated photo now. Hopefully comes up better, its losing a lot through making it more smaller. Still have trouble with camera not dealing so well with the red against the grey blue background, but its closer.

Your best yet, in my humble opinion - lovely pose, composition, and interpretation of the person - not to mention a beautiful model.

I've updated the image, but DA seems to flatten the colour a bit. [link] <-- is it on redbubble, comes up a bit better there.

You're very welcome!
The color-flattening has nothing to do with deviantART. You have to save the picture in sRGB mode with the ICC-profile embedded! And the color-reproduction depends also on the used Browser - Explorer, Safari and Firefox all show the colors differently 
Haven't heard abourt redbubble yet - will have to check it out!

Yeah, you've right, the colours are better in the linked image. But I think is normal this, but any way is a wonderful work! The next time you could edit a little bit the deviation in photoshop, with a contrast touch to exalt the image colours ^^...it's like an analogic picture, if you acquire the pic by a scanner the colours will killed, and photoshop it's ok, only for a better colours vision!!

Mais oui! You're a great painter, David- it's like you write poetry, but with a brush instead of a pen.

Really nice. I like the composition, the colours and how you didn't overdo it.
I bet the red of the parasol is throwing your photos off.

More better photo, but I find DA kills of some of it in the upload process.

It looks so much like her that I really thought at first you uploaded a photo!
The rich red really adds to the image.
Awesome job as always, Fish Man, whether you like it or not.
