Straight Ahead

 Had a studio visit from one of my main patrons today, and it was most welcome as I've been in a depressive funk lately and she loved everything she saw. So after she left, and a a quick, refreshing nap, I got back to work and had a productive afternoon.

Getting closer to the finish line:

The 16s

 Both of these are 16" square, and I made some good progress on them today.

One Down, 4 To Go

Late next week, I'm going to give all of these paintings one final pass to clean up any areas that need polishing.

On The Floor

 It's time to get that tile floor under control. I re-measured the ones in the foreground and clearly there's much more to do. But that's it for now, it's already early evening.

More To Do

 I keep finding areas that need more work! Will there be enough time?

Two

 ...are better than one. Morning work; just blocking in color.

The End Is In Sight!

 I figure one or two more passes will do it; the details that I need to attend to are smaller and fewer between.

Mistakes and Decisions

 Sometimes people wonder why it takes so long to finish a painting. A lot of time goes into putting down a stroke, or working into an area, only to find that the next day it looks like that was a mistake. Then you have to ruminate over how to correct it, let the paint dry, and then go back in and try again.

Such is the case with this one. Several areas that I thought I'd made progress on today now look all wrong to me.

Sai and Friend

 Moving forward; worked on the little girl, mostly.

Hanging Pendant Lights

 The hanging lights now have a visible means of support!

Lakin

 Yet another for the America series. This should be relatively easy to finish.

Second-to-Last Pass?

I'm getting very close to finishing this one, and that will be time to celebrate.
