I am satisfied with the mask images. Can you identify these artistic women icons? I was able to use my iPad at the Gallery even though there is no WiFi connection. The 3G feature worked like a charm. I googled the artists I wanted to honor, find images and enlarge them well enough to work from them. I hadn't envisioned this benefit when I got the iPad. For someone as myopic as I am, this is a fabulous feature.
Perhaps today I will find the time to work on the rest of the compositions so I can start the painting next week. I am enjoying revisiting the life stories of these special women.

I can see Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe, but am unfamiliar with the others (although I'm certain that you've accurately rendered them!). I like your concept.
Love contests. I suspect Kathe Kollwitz and Alice Neel are the other two. Do I win anything?
Wow! For the first time I see O'Keeffe's deer skull in Frida Kahlo's eyebrows. Must save that idea. Good likenessess.
Hi Kathy, I am sure you know the other two, at least by reputation as you are so scholarly!
Jeff, you got one out of two! Kathe Kollwitz was the first one I did, so she was already taken. If you can figure out the last one I will send you a prize!
Mark, what an interesting observation! Maybe all these women will morph together in some way!
Great work!
Oh, two of my faves - Frida and Georgia!! I'm glad you are planning so much and aren't letting your need for color make you start too soon (all the planning will end positively, I'm sure).
