This was an interesting mission tracking down who this person was. The first photo I had was identified as Vanessa Parker. I did a Google Reverse Image search and found her identified as the actress Olive May. Digging further, I find her name was Olive Mary Meatyard and then later, the Countess of Drogheda. So there was a promotion involved.

This evening I present a portrait by a new "paint" called Schmincke Liquid Charcoal. Schmincke is a German paint manufacturer. I was experimenting to see if it could replicate real charcoal and... not so much. But at least now I know. And the subject matter was titled "1950s Female Fashion-27".

Tonight I present another one of those colorized John Singer Sargent charcoals of Lady Lilian Elizabeth Michaelis, 1914. I think I was starting to adapt my style by dry brushing toward the end.
