Painting still in progress




This was taken at the end of my class this morning. It's not done yet but it's getting there. Today I felt like I might actually finish it some day. I love how when you work on one thing in the painting, it affects all the other things. I spent most of my time today working on the shell and the purple backdrop. It's a little hard to see in this cell phone photo but I was working on the folds of drapery behind the shell, my goal is to make it look like the drapery is folded on the table itself, not a part of the vertical cloth.

I've been feeling under the weather all day, drippy thing in back of my throat causing me to cough which is giving me a headache. I feel spacey and tired too. At points I would sit back and look at my painting and everything became a blur, but I got through it thanks to my wonderful teacher Mindy who always seems to know the right thing to say to help me move forward. No way could I do this on my own at home, I would get stuck constantly, I still need the voice of a more experienced painter to help keep me going.
