stretched thin

The winter, as beautiful as it can be, tries me with the cold, slipping as I walk, having to paint indoors, another gray day. I took one drawing from life drawing and worked it into a small, very small painting. It is 5"x8" on clayboard which sucks up the paint as fast as I put it down. I was experimenting with making the woman pink. The background came along with it.
I think there is more to say about women from the drawings I have made so I will explore making paintings from them.
This one was finished in the studio after starting it from the model. It was interesting to do. How fast time flies by. The sessions with the model are gone in a flash. The time spent later in the studio evaporates in the color of the paint.
