Painting Day #7

Painting day number 7 was terrific! I have been avoiding doing much detail work on my painting as I was in need of smaller brushes. I thought I had some but couldn't find them and have been tempted to go purchase more. BUT Danny found them in the storage room and I have brushes galore!! There are like 25 brushes of all shapes and sizes for just the small detail work I need them for. PRAISE GOD!!! Plus they were practically new!

During this class I finished up my portrait mostly concentrating on my eyes. I am very happy with the results. I also darkened the background and love the overall color/texture effect. In addition, I started filling in Danny's face. I am feeling pretty good about the direction of the painting now. I'm sure that will change next week.

The instructor Don will be making me another scarf --- a skinny one like I had hoped. He will be making a green one for St. Patrick's Day. Furthermore, he is on such a knitting frenzy, he will make a matching green scarf for Danny too! How cute!

In this post, I have included more than just a pic of the painting as a whole but also some of the detail.

(I love this detail. I wish this were a painting all by itself.)
