Day three – down to the knit picking part of portrait painting. You step back, you see a little something, you work it, you step back, you see a little…well, you get the idea. I learned something very important to me. In the studio, I have color correcting fluorescents…in the kitchen I have good old yellow light casting bulbs…you can see the difference and I couldn’t Photoshop out the yellow cast. If the wind weren’t blowing so hard, I would get it out to the studio and take a correct photo, but once inside, I am here for the rest of today. Now it’s on to the landscape for tonight's painting frenzy.

A very nice portrait! She has such a lovely expression.
Pattie, this is a gorgeous portrait, I love the warmth and the colours you've chosen...all done with great brushwork. Jessica will be thrilled!
Hi Patty, This is looking wonderful, what size is this? Might have missed that. I see why you wanted to paint this, love the light on her face.
Thanks guys! It is 12" x 16". It isn't a commission, BTW. I like the way it is looking...so far. I may need to visit it at least once more. I sit and look at it too much and start pulling it apart..before you know it, I'll do something that will change it too far..ya know?
