Peasant girl figure

I've made fast friends with a costume shop owner. It could just be the best thing that has happened to me all month. We have a trade situation going on.

Here are a few photos I took today - for planned figuratives. I'll post just a few of my favorites so I dont take up too much room.

Let me know if you see a problem with any of these. This first one is my favorite I think.

My daughter was great posing when she wasn't grinning - which was not often.

Another one.

And another.

Hi Kim,

Yep, I really love the first one, too, I really like the unexpected angles in the composition. I think you should make this a big painting.

Oh Chris -

How I love those words! - BIG paintings. I always want to paint big. I have to fight myself from making gigantic heads, or basically gigantic anything. I am learning that they are certainly sellable to a larger audience if they are not huge and if they are too big they also can't be entered into certain competitions.

So, I started sketching this one just as a 24x30" last night! Now I am re-thinking. It doesn't take much of a comment to change my mind for bigger.

Thanks!
