"Earnie"

"Ernie". Oil on canvas. 18"x24". I have begun attending a life painting session on Saturdays. I really enjoy it and it is a great exercise in color mixing. This was my first attempt. It was two 3 hour sessions, including the breaks it was more like 5 hours that I spent on this. Over all I am happy with the results, it is the first time I have ever painted from life under North light. It was challenging, and I learned a great deal. I am looking forward to the next session on Feb. 14th. In the mean time, I am working on a 3'x4' commissioned portrait. More on that later.
