Woman In Red Glasses, Reading is oil pastel on 11"x14" canvas.
Woman In Red Glasses And Blue Scarf is oil pastel on approximately 12"x20" card.
The model, a dancer, was reading an art theory book, courtesy of one of the painters. Her glasses, highly decorative, are purely a fashion accessory.
In the background you can see a white swan and several black coots. Coots are funny ducklike creatures with chicken feet and loud querulous voices. Don't know if any of these coots are old.
I expect to paint the background and leave the foreground pretty much as is shown, here.
The drawing of the face will probably change a bit, as well.
