I only had a few hours, or at least that's what I thought. My plan was to go to the open life session at the McLean Community Center from 4-7:30pm. I made it there, along with other artists ready to paint and draw. Unfortunately, apparently, the open life session had been canceled. No monitor, no model. I think we kept eyeing each other to see who could be roped in to sit. That didn't work. I asked a nice young guy at the desk if he'd be interested in sitting for us. He had other plans. Imagine that on a Saturday night.
Oh well. So I was hoping for a new portrait or figure painting to post today. Maybe next week.
Here's the latest rendition of my "Sunflowers, Lemons and the Blue Teakettle" that I worked on today. Even though the time was short, I was really pleased with my progress. I love these lemons!!!
This one's been resting for awhile, awaiting final tweaks. I have final, final tweaks ... itsy-bitsy ones ... and then I'll call it a wrap.
This is happiness on linen.

I just love how this painting is developing Jill. The lemons are gorgeous and the granite counter-top looks wonderful.
Thanks, Dorry. This is the first time tackling granite. An interesting challenge while keeping the lemons and sunflowers be the star of the show.
