Daydreaming

Top:  Is the final.  I don't think I'll paint with a theme in mind again--not terribly successful.  And it wasn't accepted, which is probably a good thing.  Oh well... another learning experience.
Below:  I'm working from a photo of me which Linda shot several years ago.  Left is 20 min.; Right is 1 hr.  Working toward an actual painting on this one, to submit to a themed gallery show (Dreaming).  Fingers crossed I don't blow it, I think this is a good start.

Note 1:  I continue to work on this; will post completion here later... no point in posting a bunch of intermediate passages.
- 6/30/12
Note 2:  Completed by deadline, 7/5/12.
