Day 2 of underpainting. I've completed more than this, only the central portrait remains to do.
My last painting before I started to glaze in several layers was 'Faces of Autumn' in late September 2005. Amazingly, that painting, smaller than this, took 7, 8-hour days, plus two extra for shadows, to paint. I didn't like Faces of Autumn at first, but it hung in my room for years and I grew to love it. It still enjoys the rare privilege of hanging in the house.
