Camo and Lace

Well, I have not quite kept up on the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge but I have blogged more and that is good for me.   Although I haven't painted and posted a daily painting I have been working... playing... uh, working daily.   Okay, so I love my job.

When asked to paint this portrait I was thrilled by this little girl with her auburn hair and fatigue  clothing with white eyelet lace and a pink ribbon!  So adorable.

I thought this time I might show a little more about the process.
Here is a photo of the very beginning stage and a photo of the almost done.  
A little tweaking still to do but it's always fun to put the oil paints aside for 
just a bit and play with the pastels.

I'll come back with the finished piece in a couple of days!  (I hope :)

    1. Thank you Maria. 30 days has certainly been a challenge. I paint everyday but don't always complete. It's been a good push to blog again though. And I just saw your blog too! Love your work :)

  2. Painting children is my next challenge for myself, nancy. If I can do half as well as you do, I will be extremely happy!
