Next!

Laurel leaves are in, but not the berries. Perhaps today? Worked my butt off yesterday and am pleased. Ran out of time for the grape leaves, but they are different greens anyway. Must figure out how to reposition canvas to reach that area without screwing up the lighting. Good thing it's a nice dismal day! Yes, it actually helps my lighting. Who'd have thunk a tiny window could create so many problems on a sunny day down there?

Progress with this canvas is definitely slower than the other two paintings. Faster than before, but I can't slow down to a snail again. It's been 5 days so far and there is still a lot of work ahead of me. Looking at the thing I see that the wine holder will have to be crystal clear detail too. Fortunately that won't take too long. Will have to figure out how to deal with the patterns on the fabric without getting knit-picky too.

Suppose I'd better get into the studio now if I really want to finish sooner rather than later.
