Beautiful Motherhood 2

Well, I've been moving along, section by section on that quilt.  So busy painting I haven't taken time to blog.  That's good, right?  At least I'm accomplishing something.

Remember that these are first steps, there will a lot of details added after the initial  painting--patience is required to get the look I want.

So I'll show you a few of the starting steps

After the tracing, I want a full sized outline.

Usually I do the faces first, but I decided to fill in the backgrounds first on this and see how that works out for me.  Got to keep trying new methods to refine the process....

Then I begin on the clothes ....

I also got a start on her face and arm - many details on that to come.

Then another shirt.

More soon....
