Braided Poise
A three-quarter portrait presents a woman with two dark braids, her head turned to the side against loosely blocked olive-gray forms. Transparent watercolor washes model the face and shoulders through warm browns, orange notes, softened edges, and areas of open paper, while darker accents define her gaze. The restrained expression and fluid handling create a poised, contemplative presence suited to a bedroom, office, or quiet living area.
