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 painting transforms the everyday into contemplation.

Back to work on the new portrait. We're trying a bright pink undercolor to see how that works. #figurativepainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork
