This is Erja. I met her on a plane flying from Rockland to Boston a couple of years ago. We were both heading off on separate adventures but had some time to become acquainted while waiting for our bags to arrive at baggage claim. A couple of months later we became friends on Facebook.
This is what a portrait typically looks like a couple of hours after I arrive at a friend's house to do a portrait. Many of the portraits I've posted I continued working on back in my studio with photographs to refer to because I felt I had more to add or didn't like that they were "unfinished". With Erja's portrait, I like that it's unfinished. This is where we are.

"Unfinished."
By now, you'd know I approve that thought!
Hopefully the term "unfinished" gives us some leeway to still become, but I do like this particular one left undone as you have chosen.
Very much enjoying your portrait "progression" (if that's the right word to use here? not sure)...
Thanks WS! Yeah, I thought you would approve...
Progression works well in this instance.
Good morning, Ken -- I am trying to disappear a small bit, but not succeeding well at that! (LOL!?!)
Based upon your posted notes & art -- this is a film found I think you especially may enjoy (what it was I was trying to refer to in the awkward deleted message above)...
Eu Maior (Higher Self)
A film from Brazil with subtitles -- so don't fall asleep like I do!
(1 and 1/2 hour long)

Thank you so much WS! It looks really interesting. I'm trying to find time to watch and will let you know what I think when I do. I liked your cryptic first message - kind of like a bird whispering a mysterious a clue and then flittering away. I figured it out so it worked.
