Figure study 22 x 28 oil
This is the last painting we did in class. I finished this yesterday. It seems wierd to me to leave part of the canvas undone. The face was just a quick sketch. My instructor told me to stop and let it be before I overwork it. We will see. Someday I might go back and add to it but I will leave it for now. I do get why I need to leave it, it is just different to me and to how I have been painting. I do really like this painting. I joined this class to push myself and go to the next level so I am open to this change.

I am very drawn to this wonderful piece. I make the mistake of going too far so I am glad you listened to your instructor.
