Phew, it has been ages since last posting. In the meantime, I've attended part of the Portrait Society Conference in Atlanta, the Hunting Art Prize Gala in Houston, judged a show in Odessa, TX, finished teaching the pastel class at the museum and evacuated due to wildfires around our town. Can't say I've painted a lot, but am certainly learning! About painting, competitions, and life in general.
Yesterday I had almost a whole day of painting in the studio and I feel like much was accomplished! Thought I might have finished the commission piece. However, this morning when I photographed it outside I saw some areas that need touching up. But overall, I'm content. There was a lot of back and forth on the background, trying lighter, darker, softer, or more distinct. And at the moment, I like this the best. I'll touch it up and then let it sit a few days before thinking about getting it to the customer.
