After what seems like forever, I am finally finished with all the major elements of my latest piece titled “Anticipation”.
I have a few items left to do on the faces, add some pink to Elizabeth’s shirt, but otherwise I be done with this one.

Kind of takes the pressure off when I consider our brain will actually “see” the objects being painted even if it has to abandon reality to make that happen.
I like to abandon reality as much as I can so this painting thing seems like a perfect fit.

This is awesome! It’s so life-like. Obviously, I love the location – a childhood spent every weekend at grandma and grandps’s cabin. Super neat and so many details not even missed! You are talented David, I always understood that people were the hardest painting/drawing to replicate.
