Update Market Painting




I got my paint yesterday. Finished the sketch on Tuesday and I'm off. I had a bad case of the jitters, what ifs, but I tore right into it and the brushes feel like fingers that I've been missing.

My trip to the West Side Market


I'm going to start painting again. I haven't painted since 2000. I went to the West Side Market today and took a bunch of shots and this is my composite. I will start with the sketch, which could take me a week and then when the paint goes on sale at Hobby Lobby I will get the paint that I need. Last week the canvass and brushes were on sale and so I'm half way there. I cannot wait to paint again. It's been a long time.

The lady in the cheese box is right off the camera pasted from another shot. The two ladies in discussion were pasted the rest was a single photo.

The canvas is 48"X36" so it is going to be pretty large.

I am so happy, I can't wait.
