Portrait of Us (As of Mar. 8, 2017)


This is the double portrait I have been working on. The setting is Greece, and the action is riding a motorbike on a coast road.  I am working from this couple's vacation photo.  This morning I went to work on a problem that has been bothering me: the woman's helmet didn't seem to be symmetrical.  Today I used some pastel pencil to revise some lines, and after checking in the mirror, I went over the new lines, using brown and white paint.  One of the benefits of working on a painting over time is the opportunity to figure out the mistakes, rather than finishing quickly and painting them into the work.
