A wooden chair with a white garment draped over its back. An ordinary domestic scene becomes a quiet suggestion of someone who has just left

Doing sketches for a representational portrait of James. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

The finished painting. Using pink as an undertone worked well. It makes the darker green vibrant. And it makes the dress richer. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

A quiet study of withdrawal, vulnerability and the tension held within a closed gesture.

The background is probably done. We're going to look at it for a week or so and see if we're still happy with it. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Staring at the background for awhile. Seeing what makes sense. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

More work on the background. We like the way the pink and deep green work together.

Developing the background. The greens look good against te pink. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Starting the background. We'll see if the bright pink undercolor gives us a vibrant finish. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Trying to keep it loose but still accurate. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

I think the faces are the way we want them. The hair is getting there. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

The figures so far. The dress color is developing a nice depth. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Starting to work on the faces. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Everything blocked in. A good start. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Back at it! #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Filling in more. Going a little slow because still trying to figure out the dress color. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

Two experiments: watercolor on charcoal (water smudges the charcoal, making the colours dirty - if you fix it watercolor doesn't cover it) and adding colour to shadows - failed

Starting the under-colors for the dress. Trying to figure out the red/burgundy effect we'd like. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork
