Face #57: Laura Nichols

Excerpt from my blog (jillbanks.blogspot.com)

100 Faces in 100 Days: Day Fifty Seven

2/28/11

Laura Nichols, Great Falls Studios president and founder, potter, egg lady, etc. ... came to sit for me today. The plan was that I would go to her ... since her new puppy Casanova's bladder control is still developing ... but with rain and her husband's help, she came to me.

I struggled all day on this.

As nice as my sitter was, I still don't think I've got her. It's better. It's not all wrong. But, it's not all right, either.

It was fun to spend time with Laura, though. And paint her sitting in front of me. That is what this project's about ... but I still want to see Laura staring back at me. Hmmmm.
