This may not look much different but if you look closely, you will see small changes. I put in some fly away hairs, toned down the white teeth, highlighted the eyes and put in a signature. I just sent the image off to Latrobe Art Center to be entered into their open show. It will be a virtual show this year, thanks to the virus. A new reality, yes, but I will not concede to a new normal. Nothing about this is normal. I try to paint every day, but weeks keep flowing by and I barely have time to touch brush to canvas. I really feel like I am loosing my opportunity to paint but so many other options keep popping up. I have had trouble concentrating even when I am in front of my work. I have concerns about 5G and how it is affecting people. All I can do is keep on trying. I put aside some of my larger works so that I might have better results on a smaller, less complicated subject. I am about to finish a small classic image of a Phalenopsis Orchid. It posed so nicely and never moved. I got good lighting too. The only challenge was trying to paint all the color I see in the white. Well, for now, keep painting. I will get back to you soon. Shalom
