Painting Class #8: Are You My Husband?

Painting class was pretty uneventful today. I got a lot of work done and think I am close to being done. I started by avoiding trying to paint Danny's face and painted in a detailed bee flying in the top left area. (See detail at the bottom of this post.) I need to wait until next week for the bee to dry so I can paint in the fine details of it.


After the wee bitty bee was painted I knew I had no choice but to finally paint Danny's face. Here's the thing, painting someone you love (with all my heart I might add) is very difficult. Especially if its a face you know well, but have never painted before. I will be the first to admit, it does not look like Danny. The dark hair makes him look like Elvis. Again, once the hair dries, I will put in the gray next week. The eyes are not done either --- they are just a flat green right now. Okay, I guess that was a big fat lame disclaimer as to why I don't have the skills to paint the face of my own husband!




Well, I do plan on trying to paint him to look more like Danny next week.......
