My model has beautiful hands. When she was at my house for the photo shoot, her nails were perfectly "dressed" with a bright red nail polish. It looked wonderful on her but was not the natural vision I had for the painting. Using artistic license, I "removed" the nail polish and in a future post you will see what I came up with for her nails.
When I was thinking of the painting I had the idea of her holding a basket. I have a number of baskets but none were authentically Kenyan. So, I ordered one. Wanting something simple, I thought this one had just enough interest but did not draw attention away from the rest of the painting.
