Here's a closeup. The lady on the Fremch Horn, which is behind the tuba, is my patron, Chris Mele. This is her painting.

It's been over a week since my last entry. This painting is at a dangerous phase. Is it complete? Does it need just a little something?  Will I screw it up?

Over the past week I have worked on the portraits of the individual members of the band. There have also been some value adjustments.

This weekend I've focused a bit on pattern and texture. I've also begun to think more about value relationships.

More color and drawing. There's a struggle here . Drawing wins. Color wins. Seldom the piece wins. But when it does, that's the thing.

I was getting a bit tight with my initial underdrawing. So I threw on some paint and made a few charcoal marks. I also made some scale corrections to the musicians.
