This is the head of one of my favorite models, a boxer. She is overwhelmingly majestic. I did this in a class with Jennifer Balkan, another timed painting, and I had a couple of bad starts so had to wipe and then very little time left to get it down, hence the thin paint. I wonder if there is a moral to this story. Occasionally a very restricted situation forces me to use some hidden resource. Certainly I am in a panic state when that happens and I won't be choosing to be there if I can help it. If only I could get there without suffering for it. I'm against suffering.
