Waiting With "B"

Waiting With “B”

She was actually on a modeling stage this morning in this pose. I started thinking where I’d place her after the basic sketch was done. I was lost for a moment in the Islands off Solitude. They have started creeping into my thoughts again.

Not a Portrait of "J"

She doesn’t look like this. She didn’t look like this while I was painting her. But by the end of this morning’s session I had this portrait of this person, sort of invented and of whom I sort of came to like.

As She Appears, or maybe: As They Appear

I added more paint, maybe enough to consider a new title.

Most of the crowd has faded, becoming observers to the four. And the three appearing with “She” appear to be encouraging followers, not really part of the show.

Obviously the painting isn’t finished, and the original words no longer apply. This is what happens to unfinished paintings that shouldn’t be worked on until what was painted in the first place has found its story.
