"Ash and Ava" work in progress....
This is 18x24 oil on canvas of my hubby's sweet niece and her first baby! She is the first bundle to grace the family since I legally joined the clan about 9 years ago :) Ash is so beautiful to watch with her baby and it touches me so much I just can't help but pay tribute to her loveliness. This is also an opportunity for me to warm up for some portraits I will be doing shortly. Well I'm very pleased with this start. Lately it seems I am enjoying not having a particular plan on under painting. I was mainly using up the mess on my palette to lay down the preliminaries. It's a good start :)
Soon the daffodils will be popping in their heads from my flowerbeds and I will go absolutely nuts if I once again have other things on my easel instead of painting them from life! Spring is coming YAY! (It's still cccold though).

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Erika! Can't wait to see how it develops. :)
ReplyDeleteHeyyyy Leanne good to see ya! Thanks so much ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, well there are times when an underpainting looks like a finished piece to me too, but mainly when it's supposed to be a study. And since I have a definite idea how I want the piece to look then I pretty much pursue it until I"m there - thanks so much for the visit and comment :)
ReplyDeleteSheila! Thank you, I'm glad you like it so far! Babies are totally paintable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Akiko, I can't wait either, I wish it were just a matter of twitching my nose like Samantha! :D
ReplyDeleteErika, this is so sweet! I will keep checking back to see your progress.
