Portrait of Lorraine

I promised Lorraine straightlaceed a portrait last Autumn so this is a long time coming.
Originally the portrait was to have had a snow-scene setting, like something from Chekhov.
The final version here combines the portrait with an attempt to pin down an image from myself. I thought this seemed an appropriate picture for it to appear in.


This was a particularly troublesome painting...the canvas was repainted THREE times!
I'd like to thank chyldecatcher for his invaluable help and advice during the work.
