Good Point
Good point Janet. That comment lightened my mood a bit! You reminded my why I keep on working from photographs. No one has been willing to strap their child to a chair and force them smile at me for hours.
Nice to hear from you Michelle. I like all of your suggestions. Maine is fine--it is even colder and darker than Seattle. We are already in the 20's and this is Fall!

Lara, I think you did really well on this one. I understand all your feelings very well, I paint mainly children and went through many frustrating moments. So... I lept half way! I started with painting my children live, and now I am already on the fourth work which is started on a photo, just for the basic mapping, and completed with live sittings, and I painted my children completely live.
Well, it's sooo different, but personally I find it more interesting, challenging and I really enjoy it !
Pros: painting more interesting, relationship with subject deeper, chance of pushing the colours a bit further.
Cons: a lot more difficult, takes longer, with children can only work during weekends, painting under constant pressure of speeding up.
As I said I always have a photo as a back up, but now I couldn't really go back to painting entirely from a photo with satisfaction.
Best of luck, and give it a go!

Finished...
Hello everyone,
I want to thank everyone for their help. I have come to the point where I am just going to let it be. Here is the final.
Thanks again!
Lara
