Catching up with Anita

With Anita, I have started laying out something more formal, probably along these lines:

and have been looking for motifs to put in the borders, as well as getting a better portrait interpretation without descending to the level of photographic aesthetics ( she deserves better than that!)

This comes down to mostly more figure work, and some portrait drawing.

Part of what motivates this is that Anita has brought a gorgeous Japanese yukata to wear between sittings, while I am, of course, quite attracted to the art of the floating world. Can this be crossed with the Group of 7? hmmmm....
