Talor's Portrait - Third Application
I worked a bit more on Talor's dress here. I haven't yet touched the obvious "portrait elements" like the face and hands and hair since I first laid them in during the second application. I want to be sure that the foundation of the entire canvas is set before I embark on the details.

"Autumn Still-Life (with Wooden Basket and Glass Jug)"
sold
Unbeknownst to my painting friend, Susie, it is she who named this work. I thought it fit. Thank you, Susie!
Also, in the time that it took to paint this one, the image emerged from a series of transitions (not unlike Autumn: leaves in transition, transistional weather, time changes, etc. . ). Not to say that an "arrival" of sorts has been achieved, but I like this stop so far, thanks in a great measure to the insightful eyes of those with whom I paint: Anne and Leslie (and Susie who unfortunately couldn't paint with us today - whose presence was missed). "Precious Jewels" ALL of you!!

"Second Application to Talor's Portrait"
It's a little shiney from the flash. Perhaps tomorrow afternoon I'll retake this picture in the sun (after working on it a bit more) so you can get the full affect.
There's still a lot to do, but I am pleased overall with the progress.
As my 4-year old would say: "look, piggies!!" I formalized Talor's left foot a little bit. I don't want to make her feet too "obvious" after all, your attention should be on a young lady's eyes.

First Application "Portrait of Talor"
Portrait of Talor - First Application
36"x24" Oil on Gallery-Wrapped Canvas
This is the first application or "underpainting" of the actual portrait from which I did the earlier study (note the smaller study in the background).
I'm pleased with how this turned out so far. . . I'll keep you posted on its development!
