"Judy 'Fashionista' Elias is a petite blonde. She looks harmless enough, but
with camera in hand she can be as devious as any member of the Hilton
Head Gang Her petite stature allows her to sneak into venues with
seemingly childlike innocence... but don’t let that fool you. She
enters, shoots then escapes before she is discovered. She is often
enveloped in large decorative scarves that disguise her camera to make
it easy for her to focus on unsuspecting victims... then she shoots and
is out of sight before she is detected."

Hmmm... a 3/4 profile is quite a challenge. I just recently watched a demo by Scott Burdick where he explains how we're all when painting a 3/4 profile portrait are compelled to 'turn' the face more towards a front view - I know what he means! The reason for that is possibly that we're so used to our own face in the mirror, where we're always facing full front.
On a similar note (in another demo video) Rose Frantzen comments that most models sitting for a 3/4 view tend to turn their heads towards the painter as well. - That does speak for the front view portrait, doesn't it?
the 3/4 profile is a challenge but you nailed it! She looks great. Love the hair and that look in her eyes! very nice!
