Portrait in Progress 

I am displaying the art in stages, here is the under-painting developing the tones and placement, the eyes, lips and bird will be next (that pic should be on tomorrow) and then I will create another layer with more shaping of her facial  features and darker tones to begin creating the contrast.

 I started this modern comical painting of Leona a few months ago.  I hope to finish over this holiday weekend.  I enjoy working on the square canvas it seems to fit the style too.

I had to post this one even though she is not finished, I need to add her notes and some more highlights.

                                This is from a 2 am session,  Leona had no problem sleeping through the night.  For me it was a different story, so I sketched away until I could fall asleep, capturing her coziness as she nuzzled the blanket to her liking and snored the night away.  I just adore her!
