Simone #11- One Hundred Portraits of American Teenagers

                                                                          "Simone"
Simone looked like a she could have been a model for the Renaissance painter Botticelli. What a pleasure and a privilege it is to paint these interesting young people!  I paint almost exclusively with a brush, but in this painting I decided to try a palette knife to apply the background.
