Work in progress completed

I think I have finished this painting.  I will let it sit for a few days, and glance at it as I walk by.  Sometimes something will jump out as odd and I can fix it before I snap a photo of it with my good camera.  I also need to come up with a good title for it.  I usually start calling it something in my head as I paint it but haven't settled on a name for this one just yet....

Work in progress

So here is where I started this afternoon.  I added color to her shirt.

I added blue for the blanket, working on folds and shadows.

Phew.... this is as far as I got today.  The fabric is almost done.  I started darkening the background behind her pillow but need to darken it more.  The facial features of both the girl and dog need some more detail, as does her hair.  I like the way the saten edge of the blanket turned out.  I hope to get it done in one (or two) more sittings.  Then I will look at it for a few days before deciding it it needs anything else.  Thanks for following along with me. :)

Work in progress .....

So here I go starting a new painting.  A friend of mine is letting me use her photo as a reference (thanks Tiffany).  I love to see a painting develop as a work in progress.  So I will post as I go, for anyone else who would like to watch.  Also, this is the first time I have used the blogger app on my iPad to post so I am not sure what this will look like.  My laptop seems to show more ways to customize.
