Entry for Oct. 20, 2014

On the Monday some studio business kept me at home for the morning, but I went in for the 1 - 3 afternoon session at the Heliconian Club.  Maria was there working. These are a 75-minute study with some later additional shading above, and a 20-minute one down below.
I like aspects of the more tonal space and the more stark space. Something between these might be interesting - as might be a diptych.
Maria's face did not come off so well though,nor did the hand on the left.  I realize I need to revisit some of the verticals in the room, too.
