Perfection 4

I painted the female figure today which is the most crucial part because her face is a main focal point. Tiny faces about the size of a coin are always difficult to paint but I've painted a few and seem to be getting better at doing them. When my life is chronicled, people will stare at the size and detail of this painting and ask "How did he paint it in seven days???!" I discovered that I'll probably need to go to Chester on Saturday and I've got an appointment in Marbury Church on Sunday so I have to finish this by Friday. I am on track. One advantage of working until dusk every day is that I am too tired to do much or think about anything but rest. My stomach is finally settled today. The meditation of painting is good rest.
