Golly, thanks for the positive feedback guys.
No Michele, there is no client on this one so I am free to make it however I see fit.
It seems these practice pieces don't move very well (after all, who wants a portrait of some stranger staring at them in their living rooms? I for one don't ). Making it a little more decorative might appeal more to John Q. Public. Giving it a title of, let's say, "Flora - goddess of flowers" or some such thing might help me actually sell it rather than not if it is left plain with a boring title of "Gretchen - a studio study".
What do you all do with your practice portraits? I have a room full of them I use for shows and either toss, donate, or give the older ones away eventually if I can find anyone who wants them.
