Today's painting is another 6 x 8 (I have a couple boxes of them and they just keep popping up on my easel) of a girl I'm either calling "Yellow Dress" or "Before Milking".
Had a lot of fun painting the figure, trying to get the nuances of the arm shapes and her pose to look relaxed. Buckets are a passel of fun to paint! And the source was a black and white old time photo, so I had to brighten up her dress and give her a contemporary hair and "look". Using the Color System made painting the lights and shadows on the grass near and into the distance a piece of cake.
Now I have a cat sitting here next to the keyboard wondering if I am going to feed her. That's the Pesto kitty, so named for her consistent need for attention. Perhaps she will be tomorrow's subject?
