Progress on Abigail

first under painting for Abigail face

Progress on the face as at 24th December. Tomorrow being Xmas day I probably won't do any more work.

Have been in the kitchen most of the day preparing food for tomorrow. I made Lime Malibu jellies and a berry cheesecake. In the morning the chicken will be roasted and we will have it for lunch with ham off the bone and prawns.

work in progress - Abigail

detail of surface

Started this new work about 4 days ago. Yesterday I did more work painting the face, so its looking different from this picture. On the unstretched canvas the work is about 75cm x 55cm. I really like the chartruese colours in the composition so have bought more of that in with the new painting
