Skinny Minnie on Windy Wash Day

I had so many interruptions while I was working on this painting, but I've finally reached a place where I can be satisfied with it. I like the loose, flat, brushy white areas contrasting with the tighter painting on the face of the vintage young lady. Her name isn't really Minnie. She's my aunt and her name is Dolores. This picture was taken in the mid-forties. There was nothing wrong with her, she was just really, really skinny.

Laundry

A little pot boiler I've been working on during the move. I feel like there were quite a lot of interruptions while I was working on this and I only got about half of the things I wanted out of it. It is simple and has the composition I meant for it. Yet I didn't reach where I needed to with the texture and detail. I feel like I missed my chance with this, and a door closed somewhere along the way...
Maybe if I leave it alone for a while I'll find out what it needs.
