Face First

So after a couple relatively minor but time consuming setbacks, (mostly Weed Ordinance Violations - mine and my sister's - long story - and every piece of lawn equipment biting the big one at the same time), I lost a good three+ weeks of painting. We're talking several acres of yards here and clearing five fallen trees.) But thanks to friends lending their equipment and some invaluable help, I'm finally back in the saddle again and can report at least a little progress having been made with the painting at hand.

After a point, I seem to start concentrating on the face, working outwards from there, leaving everything else until later.

Then there's the feet.

I abandoned one painting (temporarily?) because I couldn't get the feet right... that 36 x 24 incher. And I noticed today that I'd left the feet in the current painting 'in sketch,' not even bothering to fill-in the basic shapes.

Personally, I don't find feet that interesting, and can only recall seeing "an attractive pair o' dogs" in real life only a handful of times. (And trust me, mine aren't it. :)

So the latest? You guessed it... the feet!


Cheers!
