On Monday and Tuesday, all housework was abandoned in favor of painting. It dawned on me that it was the first time using my new pallette. For Christmas, Reese had a glass top cut to fit the desk in the studio. The entire desk top can now be used as a pallette. It's great. What's a little sad, though, is that it's been so long since I last painted. Two months (since I last painted) is too long to wait.
This painting will have some wispy highlights added to the hair of the young lady, and I am thinking about changing the color of the baby's dress. Even though I generally avoid adding details in my paintings, this one will need a few other minor adjustments before it's finished.
There was a modest internal struggle over whether or not to post this photo since it's a work in progress.

Hi Sarah,
This is lovely, the baby is so precious. You are so good at figures. What about adding a little detail or pattern in the baby's outfit for color instead of changing the whole color of the outfit?
I can not believe it's been 2 months since you've painted. That's too long, we'll have to talk about that!

That's a great idea. Already I wasn't looking forward to re-painting the dress.
I thought as much! It's no fun to repaint anything. I do it enough, I ought to know.
