Here's Lucy - A Work in Progress

Lucy: Work in Progress
Although I typically never offer views of my commissioned work prior to the official unveiling, this one is for Anne as she loves to have sneak peeks of her "girls" while they're on my easel. In a few more days this layer will dry, at which time I'll likely be able to complete the painting in one final sitting, meaning one full day up to 12 hrs. So, in the meantime, I'll be shuffling back and forth between other commissioned work, both still lifes and portraits.

Next week I'll primarily be focussing on my first "true" hyper-realist still life of oranges with dramatic lighting. There won't be any sneak peeks of that, as I really want the drama of presenting my client with the finished work. That will be over on my still life blog, so keep checking!
