Life study - 12x9" pastel

Life study from last week's open studio, done in pastels. I worked on making it look like her a bit, but time was short (less than 2 hours to do it, with breaks for the model). I like the sanded pastel paper surface I was working on, and I wanted a soft edged lively look. The skin tones kind of suggested the background colors. Disappointed her eyes didn't show, but it was an unusual challenge to do the glasses. I tweaked it a bit in the studio when I got it home.
