“Blue Dress” in progress

The canvas is 36″ x 24″, I have started to block out the image in oil using a brush. I am thinking out loud so bear with me… At this point I would usually not show the painting, it just looks a little rough, but there is always a struggle involved, especially when so much of the work is from my imagination and I have not determined really what the painting is going to look like… I will just have to wait and see, as opposed to making a copy of a photo or a drawing with the details already predetermined… I am making the painting as I go… or improvising color and composition as well… and at this stage who knows, but I just thought it would be nice for the viewer to see the struggle and the way the painting comes to life (hopefully)… So please enjoy my work in progress.
