The weather outside was filled with sunshine and warmth today. Beautiful weather for the local Easter egg hunts. :) My morning was spent running errands and the afternoon cleaning our little pond. After all the days activities came to an end, I was able to spend the evening drawing in my messy little studio with windows wide open. *sigh* As you can see below, the portrait has been completed. I am pleased with the results and feel that I have learned a lot during the process. My fear of doing human portraits has been lessened by sticking with this one till completion. I am so happy that I didn't shelve it a few posts back. :)
I look forward to relaxing tomorrow... Easter will be a day of enjoying a visit with family and contemplating my next subject. Although there are a few animal compositions that would be fun, I find myself wondering how difficult an infant portrait would be to render on Bristol. The features would be such a challenge from everything that I have done before. Of course, a bigger challenge would be finding a descent photo to draw from! ;) I will have to go on a mad search of friends, family or the Internet again. I will more than likely have to draw another subject in the between time and that's okay, too. :) For right now, I am ready to put away this piece. Since tomorrow will be here soon, I would like to wish you all ...
A Happy Easter!
