Finished Painting


So, I think this painting is finally finished. I ended up changing her mouth from before, and i really did like it better back then. Oh, well. It has a different feel now,-- much more subdued--- which wasn't exactly what i was going for before. But there's only so far that I'll go to rework a painting. I may just try another version in another painting.

Sometimes the first strokes I put down are the best, and then I second guess myself and change them, or try to refine them, and later I regret it. -but not too much! I'm still satisfied with this painting.

Rachel, have you thought about doing an art show during Arts Night out?
I really want to do a photography show...maybe we could do something collaborative?

I'm not sure if I'd sell this one. I took my inspiration from a picture of Jen, my midwife, who passed away. I'm not sure what to do with it yet.
