I am having some political problems with my beloved open studio and as life generally has it, the week after trying to keep my own word to myself and post a live portrait at least one a week, I came home.

With nobody to volunteer and lots of rain outside, I set myself up at my easel and decided one NEVER has to say there were NO live bodies. So this is real time.
It is 7:30. I started with a charcoal tonal sketch, fixed it, shot it. Then worked on my darks or shadows. Shot it.
I am going to work until the model needs a break and will keep posting as I go.

Politics may be nothing compared to actually having to LOOK at myself tonight while I try to paint me!
