I have been scuffling a little bit lately. I came off a period in Pendleton and shortly after when every start seemed to result in a finished painting. In the last couple of weeks I started several paintings that I wound up scraping down or just tossing. Here are a couple that worked out. The teacups are a theme that I return to whenever I'm feeling stuck and the figure study is one that I started in a life painting group a few months ago and put aside. I picked it up and finished it as a "warm-up" to another painting, which failed.
I have the Concours d'Elegance event coming up next week, so I hope to have my chops together by then.
