caress is nearly finished...

[gkg]

here are detail shots... i just started on the face so no, it\'s not going to have a black eye effect forever.

Nice use of lighting. I like what I see so far.

[gkg]

thank you!  i just have to sort out how i want to do the hair and get the face finished and then do a couple glazes - the light is something i am working hard to keep consistent so your remark really makes me feel good about that!

 

[oldfolkie]

Oh my goodness! That\'s lovely, gkg. I\'m really looking forward to seeing the final version.

[gkg]

thank you!  unfortunately several things are conspiring to keep me out of the studio for several weeks - but fear not i will post when the piece is completed.

thanks again!!      

[Aquabot]

I agree with oldfolkie, that seems to be very good, I want to see the end result, please.

[gkg]

thanks!  with one thing and another it will be mid-April before i get to work on it again... but i will post it when done.

beautiful painting!  I hope you´re back in your studio soon.  

[gkg]

thanks!  me too.

i have to finish this one, plus i have a few commissioned paintings to work get moving on and a sculpture for a competion and one for a fundraiser... all squeezed into the hours i don\'t have to be in corporate hell.  this working for a living is messing with my real life!!  

[Aquabot]

So, when will we see it finished ? I\'m impatient, I know.

[gkg]

hehehe - you and me both, babe!  yeah - i set it aside because i have two dolls i have been commissioned to do for a nursery and i have to ship them in a short while so i need to get cracking on those - i should be working on finishing Caress, i totally agree!  sadly, these folks paid months ago, so i need to get them the paintings before the baby\'s born!

i will probably do the last finishing touches on Caress in a month - if i don\'t post it by the 4th of July, call me on it!!  

 

[Aquabot]

- if i don\'t post it by the 4th of July, call me on it!!  

No problem, I\'ll do it.

[buswolley]

So post pics of the dolls as well!!

Are they real dolls or paintings of dolls?  Or perhaps they are pictures of dolls painting...

By the way July 4th is only 23 days away -- NO PREASURE, I\'m just saying.

[gkg]

ah, i\'ll post them all, as soon as they\'re actually done... thanks for not putting me under any pressure...  

[buswolley]

I hope you know I\'m just joking with you -- I can wait until the 5th!
