another project underway

Well i finished my latest painting (have yet to get a good photo of it) and am forcing myself to start another illustration. I was sitting around thinking of what i want to draw, and the choices seemed to be endless. It seems that i have a favorite subject, young people. So i'm breaking out of the box, oh yea, and moving on to a different subject. I choose my mother, who was nice enough to pose for me. My theme in this painting is death. The main women in it will be wearing black holding a photo with past photos of family on the wall beside her. I'm using the same technique i used in the last one. I'm thumbnail sketch i choose is the middle drawing which i have done some corrections on all ready.

attached is my thumbnail drawing, i like them for just how free they feel.


bon appetite!
