Thank you Michael.

I still feel I need to aquire the discipline of being more decisive. I would like for my brush strokes to be larger and show more confidence. That will come with time I know. Work, work, work!

The mosy difficult part for me, believe it or not, is that I am thinking way too much about how the model is feeling. I feel myself being rushed, wanting not to "inconvenience" them by consuming their time. Odd distraction I know.

I typically work on an untoned canvas but I decided on the canvas in the middle to try a toned canvas (cerulean blue & raw umber). The picture here shows the drawing stage. I will post the completed painting when finished.
