Poor Aurora fidgeted and drifted a lot. But, somehow, in spite of that, I got a painting from the session that made me happy.The canvas was so big it didn't fit my easel, and I had to prop it against a board. Working so large made it harder to get everything in correct relative proportion...and, in fact, the lower body came out too small for the head, and I had to correct it. But working large made it easy to get a lot of detail into the face, which made up for the other problems.
