I am really starting to like this painting although I am my worst critic. As a hobby painter I see what the professional artist are doing and think maybe I should get some lessons somewhere. But, when I look at all the paintings I've done I see that they have a distinctive style. What I like about this painting is that the faces and hands are more believable. Faces and hands have always been a nightmare for me. Now it's the cigarette pack and the ashtray I can't get the perspective right so they aren't sitting on the table correctly. I am almost ready to take them out of the painting. If it doesn't work in my next painting session...out they go. I have much more work to do and it does have to dry before the WRAP show. Well, I better get going.
