My sister and nieces, hence the title "Loved Ones." It's fun how the title came as I painted this; actually, the title was with me while I painted this.
Again, still painting every single day. I am learning from this daily painting challenge that I do best to let a painting take several painting sessions, which is very valuable learning for me. I tend to want to get to the finish, carrying on painting when I should STOP and let the paint and my mind gel for awhile, even overnight. I am developing habits and knowledge about myself as a painter that will serve me well.
I experimented with acrylic mediums for this painting. The jury is still out...
I went to a presentation at the Appalachian Pastel Society and learned some very valuable things, including that my photo editing program, Picasa, will never do everything I need it to do, so I can stop looking for the controls I will never find because they don't exist. I learned about a couple of other programs that would serve me better, so here I stand with another new project!
I hope the other artists are still enjoying the challenge!

Thanks, Mom! I have to tell you, the painting looks so much better than this photo, it make me a bit nuts. I'm glad you like it, though.
This was at the Pumpkin Festival, in the field where all the parking was. They were walking back to the car at one point for something one of them needed. I loved the photo, but decided to leave out all the cars in the lot around them.
Hey, you totally captured the girls. Tiana identified herself and Brookie immediately. She didn't know who the other one was and finally guessed it was you. I don't really recognize myself either, but I feel like the girls are IN the picture. It's so them. Keep on keepin' on!
Stefanie
Especially Brookie. I feel like she's going to turn around and say something. Probably something hilarious, judging by her Jackie's last fb post. :)

Yes, Stef, I agree, the girls are captured, but it's not really looking like you. However, I am afraid to touch this painting any further...any further touches run the risk of ruining it. I'm just happy the older one looks human enough, looks like a mother is in the picture! And yes, that Brooke is hysterical, they both are!
I really love these types of paintings. You don't need to see the face to recognize the person! I think they are the most fun to do also!
Love the light on your sisters legs. Just the right amount. Wonderful!
Thanks so much Cathy. Your comments mean a lot to me. Watcher's, Cathy is is also painting people and her work is just wonderful. If you check it out, make sure you scroll down to where she has the painting of the baby posted!
