I was thinking that I would need to work on this a lot, but I liked it so much the way it is that I decided not to overwork it. I just spent a short amount of time - and didn't touch her face. I put in the earrings and the dress, and did a little to the hair. I put a little green in her hair. The color was looking blue to me, but the green was talking to me, so I went with it. So here is Marilyn finished! After I took a photo of it, I realized I forgot to include her iconic mole! I will add have to add that!
Tonight is the end of winter break, so it's back to work for me tomorrow. Also I start a six week portrait class on Tuesday, so I'm excited about that, and will blog about what I learn. Tomorrow, if I find the right picture, I plan to do another larger painting. The work seems much more substantial when it's larger. So I may not post a finished painting every day, but will post what I have accomplished each day. ;)
