Acrylic on 140 lb. paper
It was super hot again today, so fall has not found Southern California just yet. Wishful thinking I suppose. Days are a little shorter. I noticed for the first time today. Major bummer.
Hope you all had a happy Monday! Sending prayers out for friends and family in Colorado and New Mexico. For everyone, blessings!

This is the half way point. Funny to me that this woman resembles a mid-century starlet. In the movies, if anything bad happens, it is soon resolved and the final scene fades with the audience knowing that everyone lives happily ever after.
I was working on this and half watching Vertigo, and later Rear Window. I mention that because, my painting kind of resembles Kim Novak, or Grace Kelly. Lithe, proper, with the perfect cupids bow.
I lifted up the paper too soon, Everything looked dry, but the blonde was still wet. Just a bit of a curve ball. This after my first painting of the day turned to mud. So I added a few more blonde streaks, and then I added rain, and rain drops. And then, a lucky accident.
One perfect tear. Almost perfect.
The internet has been in and out again, so I am posting late. Heading back home tonight, and then I will see what everyone else has been up to today.
Here is to another creative week ahead!

This was done on a scrape piece of watercolor paper. Every scrap is sacred. I did this before the challenge, I still have more work to do on the paintings sitting on my desk, and I just won’t have time to finish them today. I wanted to post, in case I don’t get home until late this evening.
Hope you all enjoy the weekend!
