Well, since this painting changed on me as I was working on it, I just went with the flow. It is now called Marks and I like it so far.
The other one remained true to the original "idea" of a Downward Glance and I'm still slowly working in drybrush. It takes a while but for some reason I'm actually enjoying it and not rushing too much - although I think I'm getting too dark too fast so this may be a learning painting for drybrush. I'm unsure about colors to use to get the final fleshtones and shadows but I'll just use what I have and try to see those colors.
I probably should have gone to class Tuesday and let Sandy help me out but I really wanted to clean the house (that feeling happens so infrequently, I have to take advantage of it when it does!); then I got a migraine and then I just had to take it easy for a while - the migraine went away and I did get some cleaning done that was really needed.

Simply love the feel of the second portrait in this post. Im confused though as I remember commenting on your DROWNING IN POSSIBILITY works, as I remember saying how I thought the title was magnificent for the subject. Love the way it developed and finished. Also my commiserations for the migraine, as I have them too, so know how they can knock one out for hours if not days. Must have been the housework brought it on!!!!!
Thanks, Joan. I'm doing this one 2 ways and seeing what turns out :) Drowning in Possibility was finished and I posted it the other day. I did keep that title but these are 2 different ones. Not sure what is confusing you?
I've been getting migraines since I was 21 and I won't tell you how many years that has been! And I thought the same thing - housework is bad for my head! ha ha
