Conceptual Word Portrait

Another week another assignment that I get to have fun with. The assignment was to choose a word from a list and then create that feeling or whatever it may be in a portrait. The word I chose was "desire" and I went about in a very simple manner. There are many ways one can portray emotion and feelings in a portait, I went with facial expressions and I'm relying on the viewer to visualize and interpret their own desires. The lovely model is a fellow classmate and she gave off a wonderful feeling with her face after trial and error with direction. I'm really enjoying doing portraiture and can see myself exploring more in this interesting field.
