Lately

 As the seasons turn, I find myself having to spend time on indoor and outdoor tasks. Inevitably, it cuts into painting time. But I did manage to work on a few small areas here and there over the last few days.

 I used a lot of glazing on the floor to try to beat back the attention-getting parquet strips. Unfortunately, I've run out of glazing medium and now must wait until Wednesday for my art supplies order to arrive. Very happy with the way this looks, though.

I had serious doubts about how to pull off the tiny floral pattern on the mom figure, but, amazingly, IT WORKS.

 Did I mention that this is finished??? Soon it will be on its way out of the studio.
