Bentleyville Day 10




I tried to work outside, which I didn't really like. Maybe because it was just too hot. and very humid. I have half of the portraits finished now, and I'm already feeling a bit sad that it's half over.

Your progress is remarkable, but I know what you mean about almost being sorry it's over. I feel that way when I'm writing sometimes.

I admire your courage! I'm generally intimidated w/ portraits as people expect a photo-realistic finish rather than what one perceives about a subject as an artist. I cheat a lot w/ tracing paper and graphite to make carbon copy sketches from photos.

It is a great looking piece.

Really nice work Julie. The painting is so much more expressive than the photograph, in my opinion. I hope you will have it framed. It is a real treasure.

I feel the same way at the end of a project sometimes and sometimes I am just glad to stop painting. Good books hit me the hardest when they end.
