Lolly again

I had made notes of changes I wanted to make.  I did the best I could.  It is almost finished.  David does not like the red outline.  I do.  What say you?

Lolly

When I went to visit my grandmother I realized that she was so in love with her dog that the best present would be a portrait of Lolly.  Thanks to Gay, I had seen colormutts and loved the way the dogs looked with the red outline and underpainting so I am trying it.  I did a sketch, then painted red around it, though I now realize it would be better to do the red first.  Let it dry and then did a pass with color.  I will let that dry and do another pass tomorrow.

This is almost identical but for a few details in the clothes and corn.  I need to finish it by Wednesday to be framed so if you have any thoughts, they would be really helpful now.  Thanks.

David took the girls to the zocalo while I painted.  I am still trying to add detail to the landscape and the women.  And get the contrast right without loosing too much color on their clothes.

Harvesters 2

I put all the colors in and now I am trying to correct them and add detail.

I did the drawing from the sketch and then started putting in the colors.

Another small study - I'm trying to keep my colors clear since I tend to muddy them so often!
