Time to try something a bit different from fruit and flowers

Number 6 painted from life, again, in slightly better light. this time We both sat at the table, in direct sunlight after lunch but as I painted a a thunder storm came over and I found myself adding darker and darker washes to keep up with the darkening skies.

Once again I left this until the evening. And it felt more like a chore than a pleasure. I sat in the dark hallway, without my glasses on, and tried to paint my daughter from life. She kept moving and I couldn’t see the page. I expect there’s some good learning here and I hope to get more into it for the remaining 26.

Today I left it until after work and found it hard to choose a subject. I think you can see that in the result.
