I just returned from Hayes Arboretum where I delivered 12 framed photographic prints of various works I have done over the years to display in the Nature Center. In honor of the arboretum's new auto tour program "Witch in the Woods". (See Hayesarboretum.org for more information), I included the portrait below I did in 2001. The subject was decked out in a sorceress's costume probably for Halloween. The original acrylic painting is 24" x 36", and this photo may well crop off the top and part of the bottom, but you get the idea! I recall it was fun doing this style, but in order for it to work, it seems that the subject necessarily needs to be 95% covered by their costume!
