I laid in the various locations of what will be clover flowers. I'm pretty happy with the composition. I think it has a nice feel. I am very happy with the wrinkles and shadows on the clothes. White clothes are always tough for me, they should reflect a lot of the colors of the environment, but still look like white clothes, so that's a challenge. Next I'll move over the the arm and leg on the right.

I'm starting a real painting on stretched canvas which I haven't actually done for a while. I plan on doing a few of these to hang together on a theme. I am getting the inspiration from my own vintage photos. If you follow my blog, you know I've been delving into them frequently and getting lots of practice on small compositions on paper. This time I'm doing something that is more personal and psychological. I hope it will be interesting as well.
