Restless am I


Work in progress - just after 1am and my mind will not let me sleep. Two day workshop at Studio 14 in Tipp City Ohio. Oils.

Nine of us in the class each with our own different little girl leaning out the window. Perhaps it is the child within we paint.

Tomorrow we add color (and yes, will finish the hand position and folds in her peasant blouse)

Know this was at the start, and the finished piece is gorgeous- but have to say: I LOVE THIS STAGE AS IS! I may have said- "It's done!"

Beautiful work Sonya.

Thank you Vikki. It hits you when your at this stage of painting. If it has good "bones" then you will have a strong foundation. She may not have a striking resemblance to Rembrandt's girl at the window; but it's the technique he used with light and glazing that was going for.
