... just completed. Minor adjustments relative to where she was this morning .... mostly layering impasto white over the painterly color application which defines the structure of the face and expression. With the classical layering technique, the key to rendering white objects ... dogs, clothing, snow, clouds, and so on... is to establish the structure with color and then, wet into dry, layer the white on top. With a course canvass like this one, it's possible to brush the white on with a light enough touch to let some of the color underneath show through, and when it works, the result can be magnificent. So here is Maggie ... a week or so to dry, or at least dry enough to ship.... then off to Mississippi ... and for me it's off to the kitchen for a hamburger.
