On the easel is something new for me....people in a painting! I have put little figures into my landscapes here and there but this is the most detailed I have gotten so far. I am working up to doing a painting of my daughter on the beach with the ice cream man...one of my favorite pictures of her. This one is 16x20...Marsha has asked us to try working larger but I was ahead of her on that as I started this one already! I did an alcohol wash on the background and I have blocked in my people with nupastels. Now I will start on the rest. The trick will be to keep the background stuff less detailed so the focus will be on my couple. I took this photo at the Sunflower Festival Jayne and I went to over te 4th of July weekend. It will be good practice regardless of how it turns out.
