Work in Progress
oh no - i absentmindly opended a jar of turpentine and spilled it everywhere - including on this painting. the painting was still wet. . . . so of course, you understand, that in my efforts to clean up the turpentine the painting got ruined. a lesson well learned - well, actually two lessons well learned. #1. never open a bottle (can or jar) of turpentine anywhere near anything of value (just in case) and #2. hold onto your paintings with gentle hands so that if something goes wrong you are able to freely open your hands and let the painting go. you can then put a positive spin on things and recall all the painting lessons you learned while enjoying the time spent on your work of art! (I do believe that I will paint this again).
Lady in Red Hat - so now the art piece has a title - and that my readers is progress!

Oil on Linen Canvas Board
Defferent Ligthing. . . . .
I'm thinking of pulling the black in her cape to fill the entire portion of her cape area. Any comments on that? Her hands are still a work in progress - I have to make them larger. Surprise, surprise - what will she be holding in her hand? hmmmmm
