Work in progress, take three

First day of work:


Next:


And now today:


I added the ruler along the side so you could get an idea of the size of the painting (it's fairly small, really). Changes -- I smoothed out some of the patchy areas in her fur, but after I looked at it, I was disappointed that I just wasn't capturing Edloe's characteristic scowl. I tried to see if there were any fine-tune adjustments I could make:



but I'm still not happy about the fact that I didn't capture her face properly. Other than that, though, it's almost done I think. I'm going to stop for a bit and come back to it in an hour or so. Kind of a palate-cleanser for the mind, if you will.

I love painting.
