Jenny intial sketch

 

The project of the café is advancing slowly and has become a little sluggish, since I had to devote a little more attention to some health issues, which require reorganizing my life in such a way as to meet some basic requirements to stop the deterioration.
Still, I paint all the time, working on solving problems in order to clear some obstacles.
Jenny is a new model that I started to work with yesterday.
After initial struggle with composition, I found this position that has nothing to do with the final composition that is supposed to enter into the painting that I am planning.

Jenny, second stage

You can still see in the background my initial struggle with the composition…it is such a great feeling to find just the right position and the right angle and not to succumb to the first suggestion that comes up…really love this process of searching and experimenting.

Jenny, the third stage

I must admit, at this stage that in spite of the fact that I am quite happy with the general feel of the composition it is not exactly what I had in mind and It bothers me the fact of some distortion of the proportions and there is a good chance that I may start all over with a bigger canvass.
