Background In

Today I actually began working on the background for my oil painting. So the pictures will make it seem like it's gotten a LOT done to it...but in actuality it isn't much. Haha.

Also I really apologize for the terrible quality of my photos. I have to take them in my room which already has terrible, yellowish, bland lighting. So the painting is a lot more vibrant, especially the background. The pictures make it look just white, whereas the painting itself has a lot of lime-yellow color in the upper part of the background, and the floor of the painting has some rich greens in it.

I also added in her ear...but it was after I took these photos. Anyways, enjoy! This pictures are taken horizontally because today I was working on it facing that way. I switch it around depending on where I am painting...for ease sake.

So looking at the painting I am thinking it is starting to slowly come together. The finish is in sight! I can SMELL it...or that may just be the turpentine fumes. I am really liking oils. I may start on a new piece right afterwards! Maybe an abstract like one? Just colors and shapes and strokes? ;] We'll see!
