I am closing in on finishing the bozzetto sheet. I worked with a round brush on these two but it didn't have a point on it so I had difficulty in creating some lines I wanted in the eye area. The last one, I used my favorite brush, the Cheap Joe Lizard's Lick #4. I am loving how I can lift color off of this surface and I am getting better at getting color to stick. I took advantage of the initial beading up of the paint on the last bozzetto to create an interesting texture in the background. Now I am thinking about which one to enlarge into a full size painting. If you have a favorite, cast your vote in the comment section.
Tomorrow I will be acting as the juror for a CWA show at the Gallery Concord. This will be my first time to participate in this capacity. I am pushing myself to do something I find uncomfortable because I think it is an important growth step in my progress as an artist and teacher. I will discuss the process tomorrow. Stay tuned....

Damn, you're good! have you ever considered teaching? ;-)
Hard to cast a vote - the composition of #7 is very interesting with some nice negative spaces, the close-up of #5 has an intimate quality, and the play of shapes in #3 is intriguing.
Aren't you glad you asked?
Myrna, They are all fascinating, but I will have to 'vote' for #5- the beautiful loose, expressive brush strokes and the colors in this one really catch my eye. It really expresses emotion.

Myrna, these are terrific. I especially like the composition of #7 and agee with Barbara on #5 -- there is so much energy in this one.
I really love the one with the beaded up background, like the placement and sense of incompleteness that lets me get more involved. All have been wonderful to see.
Hi Myrna,
I like #2, guess because of the warm colors. And congratulations on your acceptance and a medal in the big WC show.
I am adding you to my blog roll. I love watching you paint!
