After a long hiatus, I finally picked up my paint brush again. I initially stopped because I had injured my back and literally couldn't even pick up a paint brush. Amazing to find out just how many motions are connected to our back muscles – only all of them! After healing enough so that I could work again, I just didn't feel like it until now. At this point in my life I've been through enough creative lulls to not worry too much when I hit a down time. The pull to create always comes back around eventually.
Since this girl had been sitting partially done since January, it seemed like a good project to get back into the groove. :) She's on a 16×40" canvas.
I might add some steam coming up from her coffee cup, but for now she's done. It was super rainy today and I made a yummy soy mocha before starting. It felt pretty good to paint.
