The painting in progress post is at https://donnascavepainting.blogspot.com/2021/12/post-219-pink-parasol.html - and this one was a serious case of "in progress". I painted over her face at least 3 times.

What do you think? Or should I call it aliens in a rowboat?

Post 219: Pink Parasol in Progress

Painting Name: Pink Parasol - in Progress

This painting is rather ambitious of me. I've always said, "I don't paint people." Yet, here I am, trying to paint people. This painting is of a man and woman in a row boat on a lake. The woman is in a pink dress with a pink parasol - with a Victorian time frame on it.

Status: In Progress

SKU: 12GG21AC

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 16x20 Stretched Canvas

Edition Year: 2021

Framed?: No

What Brought About this Painting?

An attempt to paint people. I'm reminded of all the sayings like, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again" and "you don't know if you can do something unless you try" and "practice makes perfect". So, it may take a few attempts but I'll give it the attempt(s)...

And I've already painted over the woman's face twice.

Actually, I started this painting a couple days ago, so the first rough in is below:

Let the games begin...rough paint in.

Sunday, December 12, 2021 10:16 PM A busy weekend. Volunteered at Clearbrook yesterday - there was a Clearbrook Winter Wonderland going on from 12 to 2 so we had a HUGE day because Santa was in the gallery. Wall to wall parents and kids. Then today I volunteered 12 to 3 at Stonebridge with today being the last day of that art show. Went back to Stonebridge at 5:30 and a bunch of us took our art down (if it didn't already sell) and took it home. The rest of the PWAS members will pick up theirs on Monday.

More added to the painting - still not happy with her face. And redoing the left bottom, wasn't happy with the ripples.
