Checking For Square

 Hauled out the T-square today to check the lines of the woodwork and the painting frames. Several lines were wonky, but they're fixed now.

 Because the original reference is made from light, I'm having trouble getting the true saturation of the colors using pigments. And I can see that some of the orange highlights I painted today are all wrong. They should be a hot pink. Next time.

Progress

Had a decent work session this morning. I'm pleased with the way the legs and feet look.

Catching Up

 Been busy lately, but I did manage to sneak in some time at the easel here and there.

 Above: glazed the parquet floor. Changed the woodwork behind the guard to a warm white.

 Toned down the garish turquoise on the building.

Added some woodwork. Looks wonky.

Still dithering with the color.

And, I improved the faces on three of the America series:
