Illustration Friday - "Glamour"

My instant thought: "Honey, this was not a good gig, was it?" I sympathized with the look in her eyes.

What I learned this week: A tiny brush doesn't work well with thick gucky paint on canvas.
Also, my scanner picks up about 45% of the color in the picture. Makes me wonder how much is missing from all the other pictures I see at Illustration Friday...

Nicely done! At first I thought this was "Boy George!" Are you sure that isn't a pocketbook full of salad. Maybe that's how she got paid for the gig! After all...you know models don't eat much! LOL! Enjoy the week end!
Great illo. I thought the model looked a bit manish too.
love
I'm nervous about posting this, since I'm afraid it'll sound more like criticism than a simple comment (which is how it's intended). I thought you might like to know that the original Portuguese (hard to read in the photo if you don't know what to look for) is "Serviço do Amor e do Coração" ("Service of Love and of the Heart"). The "e" stands alone and corresponds to Spanish "y". It is also pronounced the same way, like the English letter E. Portuguese is odd that way.
Teka, thank you! I had the feeling I wasn't getting it right. I really appreciate your letting me know what it really is!
I love the painting! You've changed the emotion of the piece from somber to thoughtful and interesting with color and brush!
