A Work in Progress

Two years ago I got a canvas from Chris and Anna for Christmas. It was an awesome present, but rather intimidating. The stuff you draw on a canvas is so permanent and you feel pressured to make it look good. I tried drawing some avocados on the canvas soon after I got it, but it just looked dumb. I set it aside and waiting for inspiration to strike.

Last week, it struck.

Here's how it is coming along:

Does the picture look familiar? I'm pretty happy with the way it has turned out so far. I think I'm going to just paint the background a solid color and keep her black and white.

And I'll probably spend three more hours shading her upper lip...

Also, I saw this art competition that is going to be held by the Church. I think I want to enter. I'll just wait for inspiration to strike again.
