RSSI’ve posted a wip earlier. Here is the final one of Lake.
The foreground works better now with the extended sheet. I also had a more detailed face at some point – but overpainted it to a simpler version.

Yola, final version
This is the final version of a work in progress I posted before. Visitors of the exhibition have seen the image already. Although I must admit, since I was in a hurry I accidentally hung it up the wrong way 
Both versions work – but I do like this angle the most.

Work in Progress Lake2
For this one I have one more session. That will be a lot of work to tackle still – I only consider the central body part to be final.
I painted the model in a very different position than she is actually sitting, mixing several perspectives into one – which has me moving around with my easel a lot.
It is unfortunate that I’m limited to the canvas size, it restricts me in my composition. More space at the bottom would have been nicer. Maybe I should start painting on unstretched canvas – it’s a bit less convenient though. I’m scared of stretching cutting and priming (or just too lazy).
Anyways I will still have to figure out how to solve the foreground composition – probably will expand the white sheet to the bottom of the canvas. I could work on that even after the coming session. I’ll update after I’m done of course. Comments and critique are welcome.

Work in Progress: Yola
An image I’m currently working on – I thought it might be interesting to show an in between step:

Luckily the model wants to pose once more in a couple of weeks – so I can tweak and adjust.
Comments and critiques are very welcome. I want to work on the hair more, just giving it more time. And when I’m at it, I can maybe change the body a bit. Even if I won’t change it massively: Its good when I have like two weeks rest in between, gives me a “fresh eye” for it.
And actually – upside down it looks nice. Maybe I’ll hang it up that way if it all works out
