Today was another great day painting from the model. I'm still not ready to show
you. The exciting and challenging thing about working on a large painting is
that you keep moving back, and looking at it from a distance, and seeing
things differently and changing it. A friend told me not to overthink.
I know what that means, but frequently with a portrait painting, overthinking it
is what saves it. The painting has to express the subject. Sometimes
that takes work.
I love these tulip paintings, and they seem right as I'm painting a woman in a red
dress. So beautiful.
Have a loving your life day!
