Yes, little by little I am getting back to my routine. There are fewer hours in a day or maybe the hours are shorter and so I find it difficult to get as much done. My daughter, in her wisdom, tells me I have a case of Covid depression, but rarely has any sort of depression gotten to me. So, my decision was to set a goal of completing current works and also actively revisiting unfinished paintings. I am in a good habit of not accumulating many unfinished paintings. They are set aside only when I cannot solve some problem or bring the work up to my level of satisfaction. This subject is of my two youngest daughters. I have always loved the pose but the original photo is very blurry. I am using other references which is proving to be more challenging than I expected. I finally have the likenesses worked out.now I am concentrating on values, skin tones and all the other details that will bring this to life, at least for me. I sewed these eyelet dresses and they are hanging in in my studio to inspire the beauty of fabric in oil paint, even ones as simple as these. After all, they aren’t velvet or lace or brocade! You may smile to know the younger girl was often expected to need intervention, medically, in order for her to reach the doctors growing curve on her health chart. I resisted and eventually she passed her sister up by quite a lot. She is at least five foot ten now and my ability to tower over her is long gone since I have lost three inches! ☹️ This portrait is unique for my work. I rarely focus back so far instead of filling the canvas. These two just held hands when I snapped the shutter and I wanted that to be the attention getter. Hope to be back to my normal output and creativity soon, but I have two more unfinished masterpieces waiting for my attention. Shalom, Diana
