Honestly, half my art could be titled "Beach Booty."
Tried real hard on this one. I think I do that a lot, actually...The "sketch" or "compostite" had a much more warm afternoon feel, but I wanted to pump up the blues to push the orange as far as possible. I really liked the color range on the comp, but I sorta got it in my head that I had to PROVE I could change to color. It really could have worked either way. However, the butt shadows were really blue on her for a while, until I felt it was looking odd - so I went back in a warmed everything up. Then I focused on the water droplets on her ass...
Rachel is Roma's youngest daughter - Roxanne's little sister. She'd lived with Roma longer than Roxanne, so some of that Roma .. boldness has rubbed off on her. (Also, she's inherited some other things from Roma.)
