There is a lot going on in this piece, and many days have been put into it to reach this point. Because of the window display and reflections in the glass and some landscape, this painting has been a very good challenge. Somedays when the weight of the challenge is pressing on me I wonder why I do this! But the answer is no mystery, it’s for the experience of learning by observing and interpreting the world.
Anthony and the landscape still need a lot of work, I haven’t even touched his teeth yet, they are still at the underpainting stage. With two weeks left to have this finished and on display at the TRU Fundraising Gala on Valentines day, it’ll be on the easel most days.
