Portrait challenge not going well

Seems like this portrait challenge was an unrealistic undertaking. I can't get enough models. Everyone is too shy. But, Alice is coming back on Friday and I think her portrait may just turn out decent if I can get past the pressure I am placing myself under. Also, Jennifer came down to the studio on Saturday and we had a real good first session. She originally volunteered to be Medusa, but during the photo session I determined that she is more the Virgin Mary type or even a good Venus. Since my Venus quit me, Jennifer has agreed to step in and model for that one. Jennifer has a really adorable dog named Bronson. I think I will ask Bronson to model also.
