I thought I'd never start...

Today's efforts finally seem worth something after days and days of messing around. I don't feel such a procrastinator, (although I remain one at heart). Now I can look at what everyone else is doing without guilt, thinking I really ought to be working. I might even be back to business early tomorrow. Oh, one can only dream. James Taylor and Piano Classics really help.

  4. She is coming to life! I find oil painting to be quite difficult in comparison to acrylics. Your campinatura (see, I think I'm learning the terms) is a rich pink. The one I'm working with now is a mixture of raw umber, black and white. I would imagine that the pink would brighten the oils quite a bit. Your portrait paintings are the best I've seen. I'd be in the studio all the time if I could paint like you!!!
