Here is the piece I have been working on.  The second week of a two week pose.  Lydia the model is a very pretty girl and here pose was that of a reclining figure.  I worked on the background during the week as I ha taken photos of the fabric when Lydia was taking a break.  Over all a more finished piece of work and a much more satisfying piece of work.  Next week a male model. Yikes!

Week one of a two week pose.  Lydia the model was reclining in the pose.  I had a limited palette and did not have the lemon yellows that I needed for the fabric that surrounded her body.  It is an under painting getting the placement right.  The hand is a problem and the angle of the face.  Oh well.........lets see how this turns out next week.  One thing that I feel is slightly better is that I have recycled an old painting for this and depending on how this turns out it may be recycled again.
