“Ash and Ava” work in progress….This is 18×24 oil on canvas of my hubby’s sweet niece and her first baby! She is the first bundle to grace the family since I legally joined the clan about 9 years ago 🙂 Ash is so beautiful to watch with her baby and it touches me so much I just can’t help but pay tribute to her loveliness. This is also an opportunity for me to warm up for some portraits I will be doing shortly. Well I’m very pleased with this start. Lately it seems I am enjoying not having a particular plan on under painting. I was mainly using up the mess on my palette to lay down the preliminaries. It’s a good start 🙂
Soon the daffodils will be popping in their heads from my flowerbeds and I will go absolutely nuts if I once again have other things on my easel instead of painting them from life! Spring is coming YAY! (It’s still cccold though).
Looks beautiful so far, Erikie. 🙂
Some people would call this done it’s already beautiful to see Erika you sure are not only gifted but very versatile – Julie
ooooh…love the babies!!! You’re off to a wonderful start. I can hardly wait to see this progress!
Beautiful Erika! Can’t wait to see how it develops. 🙂
Heyyyy Leanne good to see ya! Thanks so much 😉
Hi Julie, well there are times when an underpainting looks like a finished piece to me too, but mainly when it’s supposed to be a study. And since I have a definite idea how I want the piece to look then I pretty much pursue it until I”m there – thanks so much for the visit and comment 🙂
Sheila! Thank you, I’m glad you like it so far! Babies are totally paintable!
Thanks Akiko, I can’t wait either, I wish it were just a matter of twitching my nose like Samantha! 😀
Erika, this is so sweet! I will keep checking back to see your progress.
It is already a lovely painting!
Erika, this is beautiful and you captured the sweetness of the moment perfectly! I can feel it.
This is a start? Wow! beautiful and sweet… I’ll be checking back every day. I’m checking out all the artists you follow too. I finally found a myriad of artists to view. I love art and yours are great. I hope you visit me to.
