Most of the work that I've been doing has taken me a day or two to do, but this one is going to take longer. I worked on this for an hour or so changing the girl on the left's face and trying to get a likeness for the mother's face, which I didn't succeed at doing. The proportions may be wrong now and the figure on the side of the painting I'm not sure if I can fit. It needs a lot of work and that's what I've been wanting lately, a challenge. Well I've got it. But I know when I say to myself to stop painting, I should listen and put it aside, which I'm doing now. I had an excellent teacher in the 1980s who put out a book on painting and in her book she said that it was a good idea to work on several different projects at the same general time, so I have to look for something else to concentrate on....
