Work in Progress II

Well, another day in. Thank you for coming back to the blog to see what's going on. I got a call from the client yesterday. They've reconsidered framing and since the painting is going into a niche they wanted to "gallery wrap" the painting. This means that they wanted the border, two inches on each side, painted. My personal thoughts and opinions aside, I agreed that I could do that since I've left plenty of border and it would just mean that I had to go back and remix and paint the edges. A few extra hours. Those that have worked with commercial commissions before won't find the request for changes unusual. It's just the nature of commissions. I continued on the grass line yesterday and painted the heads of the largest palms. Again, I will need to do some finishing in all areas before shipping. I will take time out today to do some more drawing on the foreground. That area has been a little vague in my mind and I want to make sure that I have a really good idea of what I'm doing (at least better than I have now!) before I begin this final area. Not to jinx things but I think I'm on schedule to finish by Wednesday of this week.
