Lori

Lori
Oil on canvas, 8x10


Well my second attempt at a human is not as pleasing as my first. But I am undaunted. As Chris Rose, curator of Lighthouse Gallery, said when he saw my first effort: "Well, that's nice. Now go and do 200 more." So, 199 and counting. 

It is interesting to see the painting and the photo side by each, as they say in RI, and with a night's sleep between me and the effort. The left eyelid needs repair, teeth are amazingly difficult to do, and I am not helping myself by letting her hair go off the canvas. 

Where do you see problems? 

I am going to try again. I am undaunted.
