Work in Progress 2

This is the second work in progress on my "With These Hands--Love" painting. Now I will begin layering and molding the lighter values and the details. The little girl needs some lighter values in her hair and some fine-tuning of detail. I will move to her hands next and complete them. Her dress will come after.

The daddy in the painting will require some skin tone lightening and highlights, but I don't want him to dominate the painting or take the focus away from the child. Little by little, the figures will come to life and the little girl's love for her daddy will dominate the scene.

As mentioned in an earlier blog, the prize winner of my contest will receive a free print of the completed painting; ordered and shipped through FAA. The runners up will each receive a free card of the completed painting; ordered and shipped via FAA. If you would like to see the entire sequence from start to finish, please go to my blog at http://anfinsenart.blogspot.com/
