This portrait was completed at RISD in 1995. My instructor suggested it as an outside of class assignment. Very glad he did, because it made me realize the lengths I'd go to to get the picture finished. I took off on a Saturday by bus and went half way across the state to get the mask I used as a prop. Now Rhode Island is tiny, granted, but it was an adventure just the same. I am a country gal after all, and I ended up lost in two separate towns after the dark by getting on the wrong bus. It's funny now.

wow . . . she looks very mysterious and knowing. Be careful what you ask her . . . she might tell you more than you wish to know . . .

Wonderful work, my favorite is Carnival Plum, great job on simulating a variety of textures. All of your figures are posed very dramatically, which makes them very dynamic and therefore interesting.

HI Tamara, This is a great pic - you have a wonderful style very classic- I don't understand why this picture has a parental warning of 3 of 4 when I open it there is nothing dirty about her.

:-) Tamara C. Johnson replies: "I have no idea why that is there; it just showed up. *shrug* I'm sure it's something I did, but I don't know what...and Thank you, very much"
