Oktoberfest (Patreon)

Actually inspired by someone I met online from Pennsylvania, who "really would love to be a model for you" but found out she didn't have the courage when it became real. And you'll need some to be a model. :)
I probably would have an extra year to paint if I would add up all the time I've spent on wannabemodelsthatfindouttoolatetheydon'tdare over the years. Especially in the early years I spent way too much time on them. I give it a positive twist by using  brief encounters like that to spark my inspiration, as if I would need more of that :)
That's where this came from. Not a portrait at all. Because that could very well generate a whole bunch of requests by other wannabemodelsthatfindouttoolatetheydon'tdare as has happened before. Just loosely based on the encounter.
