Clearing Out the Backlog

First is this 9 x 12" b&w of Cobina Wright Jr.  I was listening to a Burns and Allen radio show and they announced her as the guest star.  Having not recalled ever hearing that name before; I Googled it.  I had to.  It isn't often to run across a chick with a "Junior" added to her name.  And while searching I came across this old photo which had some shadows for me to work with.  So here's the first pass, which I think looks a little too like Lauren Bacall.  But it's a faint Laura Bacall.



Next is the first two goes on this painting by Frank Duveneck, local boy.  I was going to try something opaque, but I'm still way too transparent.  The local museum has this one, I think.  So I'll investigate it in person on some later rainy day.
