Scottish Highland, for now

Scottish Highland  18 x 24 pastel

First of all— please help me come up with a better title!!

This painting was on my easel longer than most. I soldiered on and got through the ugly stage and a ground fail (read below). 

Here are some progress shots:

The odd patch in the second image in the center of his (her?) forehead was a surface failure! For some reason when I sprayed the 91% alcohol on the underpainting, that one spot dissolved the ground. I find it funny that it happed there, but I reapplied some gesso with pumice and all was good after it dried.
