And so the work continues! As you can see, my time has been spent working with the white blouse and the white bib of my Juarez girls. I have to admit, I've been struggling, as white paint doesn't generally hold the brush strokes I want to see as I move and shape the paint...but, I finally think I'm getting somewhere. Layer on layer I'm starting to get some results that I like. Few more layers for shaping and contrast are in order I think...Thanks to everyone that has stopped by studio 8, or left me comments on the work in progress...great help, and HUGE encouragement.

This weekend will be a very busy one! I have been invited to paint with the Hancock County en plein air Society, and I am looking very forward to that! We will be at the By Air, By Rail Festival in Fortville, Indiana. There will be hot air balloons, booths and lots of activities going on...and thus lots of things to paint I'm sure. Plein air painting is rather new to me, as I don't often get off the easel...so I am looking forward to stretching my boundaries a bit. I will keep you all posted as to how I do, and if I have a painting that is worthy, I will share that as well. At the very least, I will try and remember my camera to get a picture of the group. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Until next time - Rock on!
