Progress has been made on my new painting

I was able to get some serious work done this evening.  I started painting at 5:30 PM, and finished working around 3:30 AM.  Quite a productive night.  I expect my formal work on this piece to be complete by the end of March.  Albeit, there is a huge amount of work to do simply to establish the overall composition.

Minneapolis #? “Penitent Magdelene”

All of these new color-forms will have to be strengthened once they dry.

Here is my Subject-matter, an oil painting I have been observing for almost a year at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

“Penitent Magdelene“

Bartolome Esteban Mutillo    c. 1650-1665

Thanks for reading…

…More to come soon.
