Cape May portrait - step I... getting another serving of humble pie!

As part of the beach scene series, I wanted to do a portrait of the muse standing in front of the ocean in Cape May last summer. Portraiture is difficult for me... so I worked the greater part of the day trying to get a likeness. At times, I had to get out of the house to look at the evolving picture from a distance.

A good omen: the muse approved upon her return from work!

Amber, your last portrait is a great combination of the soft and the expressive. In a way, its soft and razor sharp at the same time. It's great to be able to work at that frontier!
