Two Ideas for Corporate Portrait, acrylic on paper, Patricia Bennett

I'm getting ready to do a 30x40" portrait of a corporate executive.  These are a couple of pose ideas.  The dark background is classic, but doesn't quite work for me.

 I am eager to share what I did tonight.  I painted the Solstice Event at Cylburn tonight from 6pm to 9pm (when the sun went down).  The entire painting was done live.

People seemed to really enjoy watching my progress from a grey canvas to the final painting.
