Canvas #2 is Finished!

Done!  I loved doing this one.  The blues were great fun.  I just wanted a hint of a crowd, so that they wouldn't steal the focus from the two central figures.  You might not be able to see it in this picture, but I managed to get a reflection of light in the sunglasses...I'm not sure how!  It must be the grace of God all over again!  He always paints by my side.

Finally Progress!

Spring break is a wonderful thing!  Even if you don't have kids in school, I heartily recommend it!!  You take a week and you don't do ANYTHING that's in your normal scope of activity.  Instead you do all kinds of things that you never get a chance to!  It's delightful.

Of course, having enjoyed a week of play means that I made ZERO progress on my paintings.  That proved to be a good thing, though, because I ended up changing the main people in this image!  It's good to take time to ponder!

I'm thinking the crowd needs some serious work.  We'll see...!

Starting Number Two

Just started the background of the second canvas yesterday.  I already see places that will need more work, but other than that I like it.  It's kind of cool to have this 4' square painting dominating the sunroom in our house.  It's definitely not subdued!

Unfortunately it's spring break (did I really just say that?), so  we'll be "playing" this whole week.  Not much painting being done!  We'll see if I make any progress...
