This is the half way point. Funny to me that this woman resembles a mid-century starlet. In the movies, if anything bad happens, it is soon resolved and the final scene fades with the audience knowing that everyone lives happily ever after. 

I was working on this and half watching Vertigo, and later Rear Window. I mention that because, my painting kind of resembles Kim Novak, or Grace Kelly. Lithe, proper, with the perfect cupids bow.

I lifted up the paper too soon, Everything looked dry, but the blonde was still wet. Just a bit of a curve ball. This after my first painting of the day turned to mud. So I added a few more blonde streaks, and then I added rain, and rain drops. And then, a lucky accident.

One perfect tear. Almost perfect.

The internet has been in and out again, so I am posting late. Heading back home tonight, and then I will see what everyone else has been up to today.

Here is to another creative week ahead!
