here is today's canvas number two. well actually I started with the background on this one. I think the fact that the image has no face helped me detach from that urge to get the features in first. anyway, I think it is quite promising, so much so that I then applied a similar background to Veronica III (see the Veronica page), and I am quite happy with that too. Anyway, I feel like I have managed to shift myself out of slow gear and have had a productive day. But now it is time to go back downstairs and play mommy...

my goal today is to start working faster. i feel i have been getting bogged down into detail forsaking the larger goal which is one of yes, breathlessness, but still fluid, moving, waving, fluttering. I am going to try to start 2 paintings today, and get them up and running by means of quick oil sketches in transparent colors directly on the canvas, no ground, no gridding...no corrections yet either, just fast sketching, so i must hush my constant inner critic and just go for the guinness book of world records in terms of painting time...see how that goes...
it is amazing the things that one comes up with when shut up alone in a studio all day...
