Great day at the Heliconian Doors Open with my models Alice and Maya

I had a super time painting my two models -- 10 minutes for one, then 10 minutes
for the other one after another for two hours today.  Not an ideal plan for a very
slow painter (my art group will disagree with that, but this was different -- I know
these models), still it was cool.  We had a lot of fun. And my family came out to
see us, and the event. I took some breaks so it was probably 40 minutes per
painting. We were in the back room behind an exciting event with musicians,
dancers and of course the beautiful art show called World in a City, on until May 27. 

I hope to work a bit more on the other painting sketch done in this quick, quick
fashion. And then I'll show it to you.

I hope you had a great weekend.

Have a loving your life day!
