Simone

 "End of the Day"

This is a painting that has been around a couple of years. I like it but it never seemed to garner much attention. Time for a makeover.

"Simone"  18x24

I lightened the background and her expression (just a little). It was "End of the Day". Now it is "Simone".

The Claus Makeover

I spent more time than I probably should have overhauling these old cut-outs, but Bruce was happy to put them out in the yard.

I am experimenting with Nova color paints. They have a bit of a thin consistency but they are cheap like Borsch. They carry a flesh tone that I use to paint skin. It saves me a lot of mixing and I can alter it until I get what I want.
