I've been working very methodically and carefully on the portrait of the rancher. But another bit of wisdom from Jennifer (mentor) that she heard from her mentor is to keep two easels up at a time. When you get stuck on one piece you can turn to the other and work there. I've got my easels set up and altogether too many projects. This one is another commissioned portrait. The client has asked for a softened more atmospheric look, giving the subject a more ethereal/romantic look. This is not easy for me! And I needed some gentle guidance/critiquing from Jennifer to achieve this look. The client is thrilled! The subject, however, doesn't know anything about it (and it is very unlikely that she will read this blog).
