Portrait Project April 16th

I've realized that working 7 hours a day in the studio is just too much for me. I have to force myself to stop, but if I don't, I am really tired and notice that my legs and feet are hurting. Now, I have decided to stop at 3 pm to do other things, like study Spanish, study my ecommerce classes, work on my website, etc. Maybe even go to town and meet a friend. It is hard to get out of the studio, but 5 hours a days seems to be the right amount of time for painting.

Today's posting. I think this is as far as I want to go on this painting. I will put it aside and look at it in a couple of days.

Portrait Project, the start of week 3

Here is a face from a friend that I haven't seen in many years. It is wonderful how this project is connecting and re-connecting me with friends, old and new and some people that I will probably never meet.

If you would like your image to be included in this project, please send me a photo of a close up of your face. Not an image with a lot of background. If I can't clearly see the details of your face, I can not paint it. I can't paint your eyes if they are covered with dark glasses. No babies or pets. Since these are free portraits, I will choose which ones to use and how they will be interpreted. Thanks for all your interest and support.
