Well, I am turning in this painting to class for critique this evening. I realize it is far from finished but "time is up"! I will work on it some more when I get it back from class. I am fairly happy with this although I felt I "lost" the correct color in the last stages. I have an extremely difficult time formulating colors as I have never worked in color before (ever!). but I am satisfied with this first painting and can say that I really enjoy working with a brush and oil paints. I am eager to do some portraits from life in monochrome to get more comfortable with paint and paintbrushes...
Thanks for looking

Patricia,
This is a great start. Far better than my first ones.

Patricia, this is wonderful! You have really caught the sensitivity in this wonderful work! I am looking forward to the next!
I'm afraid you took lessons from me on how to photograph your paintings though

Thanks, Elizabeth. Oh, I have a terrible time photographing this. The colors are so off what you see in person. This is another "learning project" I have added to my long list. I took the painting to class last night for the critique and received allot of "oohs and ahhhs" It was really fun. And I spoke with the instructor about the rest of the semester. She said if enough students would show interest we could have a live model in for figure painting! So I talked to each student there and most of them are eager to give it a try. I much more encouraged this morning that I was yesterday about my tuition for this class being a wothwhile investment!

Good for you, Pat. You just might single-handedly turn around the whole Cleveland art scene. In a year or two you can offer your own realism classes and you'll have students banging down your door.
