Sometimes when I am painting these life models I clue into something about the person, or rather my painting process picks up on some subtle characteristic that my conscious mind may have overlooked.
Looking back at this session, I realize a subtle wistfulness about this model, or at least that is what I saw. Maybe it is just the pose, or my position to the model, but somehow a certain mood was coming through.
It is interesting to distance yourself from your work and look back at it. You see the imperfections, or possibly the particular beauty that came through in that moment. This piece has both.
