Lola, Part 5

"Lola" oil on linen, 14 x 16.

I think I am just about done with this painting.

A James Taylor song has been stuck in my head for a week, here is the first verse:

We were ring-around-the-rosy children
They were circles around the sun
Never give up, never slow down
Never grow old, never ever die young...

Lola, Part 4

I am still working on "Lola."  I am using a palette consisting of zinc white, indian red, burnt umber, raw sienna, ultramarine blue, and just a touch of burnt sienna.

Lola Part 2

I am painting and listening to James Taylor sing, "We were ring-around-the-rosy children , They were circles around the sun , Never give up, never slow down Never grow old, never ever die young."

This is Lola, a work in progress on linen.  She is not quite finished.  I have had a couple weeks of inactivity and I am so happy to that the smell of oil medium on my hands again.

"Alice" Oil on linen, 18" x 14".  This is about the 4th or 5th day I have worked on this.  Tonight I think I spent about an hour working on the canvas, so maybe about 5 hours total.
