I actually enjoyed creating this painting and it’s emotional content. There was no appreciable suffering during the painting process this time – as is certainly the case with many of my paintings. I even was able to create some energetic brushstrokes in her hair, background and attire. No doubt. it’s a function of experience and growing confidence in brush and paint handling. I am determined to be able to include some level of abstraction into realism. I think the combination is pretty wonderful.

Well, we have a big week ahead. See you on the other side. Have a great weekend. Winifred
