A new sketch

A new face is emerging on the canvas I showed you yesterday. Often, I don't think of a name until I am finished with the painting, but this time, while I was sketching her, I kept thinking "Lara." So, I think that's what I'll call her. We'll see. Next step will be an underpainting again - I really enjoyed that last time and it made the colors so very rich. I also have to tweak with her left eye a bit - seems a little too big now that I see the photo.
This morning, besides sketching her, I've already prepped three other canvases. I feel compelled to do lots of painting and here's the reason: Daniel had quite an intense cold this last weekend and I woke up with a sore throat today. So, I'm making art while I can. Maybe it's just allergies - here's hoping!
Wishing you much love today!
