Finished!

I finished the painting I was working on. I had to paint the fabric about 8 times. It just looked horrible. It was breaking the painting up in funny angles. So, I wiped the paint of and then painted it again and then wiped the paint of and painted it again. After wiping the paint of several more times (and of course painting it again between removals), I finally like it. I am not sure that it makes a whole lot of sense but it is the best so far. The problem is that the fabric is hanging off of Victoria's shoulder and it should sort of follow the contour of her arm but it didn't and after all of this repainting, it still doesn't. It is pleasing though. I put a line of reflected light on the edge of the fabric simply because everything else in the painting has the same thing. I am not sure it works as well as it would if it didn't have it but then again...

The tax guy still never made it. I am really disappointed because I want to be able to sell my stuff at the gallery. There was a woman that called today and wants to buy some ornaments so that will be a sale for sure. I only have about 26 ornaments left so I better get making some more, especially if we have an ornament sale in December. I am going to include a photo of one of the ornaments that I will be selling this season. They are definitely going to fit in with the surroundings as they are sacred hearts!
