Okay here is a piece I am working on right now This is the current stage I find myself in on this piece. I call the piece "You can give her the world, but." I love the way the piece works. I have added the photos that I found of a local model here in AZ. Her name is R. E. Mast. She is quite fetching and I am sure you will agree with me on that.

Here is the pervious stages of the work as I decided the soft colors of watercolor pait would work best for this project. However I have already used Copic markers and Pastels by this point as well.

Here is the black and white piece I started with as you can see from the reference photos below I changed a few things here and there, I moved the hands a little and also changed the hight of the low cut blouse she was wearing. She is striking enough with out exposing the amout that is shown in the photos. I am sure my male friends will disagree with my on certain points but I feel the version I created work well enough as is.

Here is Rachel and the pieces I found that this piece is based on. I loved the shot from the very moment I saw it.

Well I hope you enjoyed the play by play so far. I hope to post more this week. I really have to get better with my posts and try to get them out more often! :0)

Best and enjoy.
