a daily musing about my family, my life, but mostly about art - how i will try to paint every day - even while my house is falling down around my ears and my five grandchildren are clamoring to paint with me. thank god my husband likes to cook and that he and nellie and ruby, our golden retrievers, have infinite patience. we'll see.....

A good start...
ok..so this is the first painting in a two or three piece commission (depending..)...above is the reference photo....first of all, i needed to close the space between the two girls to fit the size of the canvas...you can see I have an orange under-painting here and there..I like to do that to let a bit of the orange show through to give some harmony to the piece...I've just begun to put in the skin tones..mostly the shadowed part..tomorrow I hope to get a bit further...stay tuned...
