Well into the yellow stage of this portrait painting grisaille, however, not really thinking about the reds yet until I pay better attention to clarity of shapes and edges. Maybe in another week, if the work flows.

Time stretches longer and longer between posts - my schedule could not have been more tightly packed this semester, adding the pressure of editing projects for S, far too many catering jobs, and all those chores of a domestique. Last week I had to sacrifice a life session in order to wrap up a grant obligation. Things at the studio were equally frantic with the maestro shipping off work to his show at Ann Long Fine Art.

So many examples of how unnatural it is to force a conclusion based on someone else's timeframe. The work is done, folks, when it's done.
