More Painting Progress

I've been making such an effort to get more work done: one half-hour here and there, an hour or even two *gasp!* when I get the chance. I'm making some progress, but I can only wonder what I'd get accomplished if I had a whole day to paint?

No title yet
oil on canvas
22x30
Still lots to be done with the flowers, her hands, and other miscellaneous details.
But she's getting close!



I've been working on this a lot lately, but she's still a long way from being completely done.

I just keep plugging along...

Starting to clean up the rough outlines and such.

And here's the super-rough underpainting.

That is beautiful. How much do you usually sell a painting that size for?

When I first glanced at the top picture, I thought you had a vase of flowers on the table in front of the painting. They are so life-like!

I know it will be gorgeous when done!

Love you,
Mom

Thanks guys! Hopefully soon I can post more photos of these and a few more I've been working on.
@David--it's great to see you! Hope things are going well for you and the fam. Both of these paintings are around 22" x 30" or so, and they'll probably sell for 900-1500. I get half of that, so I'll most likely get about 500 for each. I hope.

Thanks Tali! I love seeing other people's progress, too. It's always interesting to see what direction a piece will take. It's like they have a brain of their own sometimes.
