On my easel: Portrait WIP

I've got a few projects for May, and one of them is to take part in Paint Party Friday every week this month (and hopefully afterwards too, as much as possible) to help me get my painting mojo back. I can feel it coming back, but very slowly, and so I've only got a work in progress to share today. But I'm sharing it anyway, again to motivate me to finish it by next Friday. I've still got a lot of work to do on her, but I so enjoyed painting a portrait again.


Apart from a guided visit to the Bührle Collection on Saturday, I'm looking forward to spending most of the weekend painting, and finally taking my new Polaroid SX-70 out for a walk. Just hope it won't start raining again.

Happy Paint Party Friday, wishing you an inspiring and creative weekend!

    Kay I really like this so far - you have a wonderful style for portraiture and her expression is super - I can't decide if she is fed up or worried or even a little sad. Beautiful and I look forward to seeing her completed.

    Great portrait. It's wonderful so far. She is looking a little disturbed and that adds to the portrait. Awesome! Have a great weekend,.
