This is another vintage mugshot.  I really struggled with this one.  Painting from a black and white photograph taken decades and decades ago is not an easy task.  However, when I saw her glasses I had to paint her.  She had a scarf wrapped around her neck that I painted and then wiped it out.  I'm afraid it did me in.  I'm pleased with how she turned out with those iconic glasses.

  3. I always wonder...what they DID to land in jail! She seems such a respectable type. Got involved with a bad man, would be my guess! I am glad you immortalized her. You did a good job.
