You may recognize the model reference from posts past. I did this one recently, relying on a looser, quicker style of brush work.

Very nice. Has a little of that Katherine-Hepburn-On-Golden-Pond-looking-out-at-the-loons look.

Doc:
By "loon", you mean Jane Fonda, right? (sorry, that was too easy)
John:
You achieved a wonderful texture with such simple brush work.

HEY STEVE
Excuse me, my influences are showing.
And I firmly believe the Hobo Hat is making a return.

I think she'd have looked better in the Urban Sombrero.
But it does have that neat 'unfinished' look to tie in with the title.

This one makes me regret a road not traveled. So many things I wish I'd learned how to do, so much wasted time.
If wide-brimmed boonies count for hobo hats, I'm in.

Me, too. I developed a certain way and had to let other interests fall by the wayside. I guess we all should count our blessings and realize we ALWAYS have a choice.

Just goes to prove that youth is wasted on the young.

“All children are born geniuses. 9,999 out of every 10,000 are swiftly, inadvertently, degeniused by grown-ups.” – R. Buckminster Fuller
The biggest reason youth is wasted on the young is because so few adults have the requisite skills to properly raise & nurture them.

I disagree. The 'young' are interested in instant gratification; rarely consider the needs or wants of others, and believe they are immortal.
Hence the 'bad' decisions - later regretted as "missed opportunities".
