This blog is dedicated to the memory of my life partner of nearly thirty years, Dr. Howard G. Hanson-- artist, writer, musician, and teacher-- who with me celebrated a belief that we can achieve whatever we allow ourselves to imagine. This blog reflects the whole person that our lives together enabled.

Moth Mother: Phase One

Finally, I got the underpainting set for the moth mother painting.  It took a couple of days to get a feel for the direction for this one.  As I've said before, this phase of the painting determines all that follows, so now that's set. 

In spite of all my efforts, I cannot tweak these digitals to do justice to the painting, but at least they give an idea of what's happening. 

As a reminder of the content of this one, here's the reference photo I'm working from:




Enjoy your Sunday.
