I wanted to do something about a really optimistic character: a character who was so optimistic, no one could burst her bubble.

Gouache portrait painting
on 140 lb paper
For over a month, I thought this portrait was finished. I took photos to list it, scanned it for prints, edited the scan in Photoshop, and the whole nine yards.
As I was setting up this post last week, I was looking at photos of the painting with a fresh eye, and I saw things I wanted to change. So, last night, I went back in, and touched up here and there. Nothing drastic, but the painting’s changed, and I have to start the photo & scanning process all over again. I won’t have time to get it done before this post goes out tonight because I have orders to pack and ship. More soon.
Have you heard of the 100 day project, which starts on Feb 18th? The “rules” are loose, and sound doable. If you’re interested, there is a FAQ page here. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to join in.
