Would have, Could have

This portrait is of another artist friend's beautiful wife. Ted and Cary Ann came for dinner and a quick painting session. Wish we could do it again, but alas we are now 3000 miles apart. At the time, Cary Ann worked in a Fashion Designer's studio. I so wish I had taken the opportunity to capture her at work... my romantic image is of lots of bolts of beautiful fabric, raking light thru loft style windows and shiny tabletop surfaces with a shadowed standing female figure... ahhh 'would of, could of'
