Catching up!

The busyness of life

Oh my goodness!  The busyness of life caught up with me!  It’s been a while since I last posted about my work on “Rahab, The Harlot”.  I have completed three more pastel paintings for my series of “WOMEN’S STUDIES–Defining Moments.”  With God’s help and some wonderful models, I have created “Eve”, “Esther”, and “The Shunammite Woman”.  I have so many stories I could tell about each one as I researched and painted them!  Not only did I find a lone crate of pomegranates in the store in the off season, but out of all the fruits in that crate, there was one only that did not have the star-looking blossom end cut off!  Eve had a real fruit model to hold.  The leaf and growth structure I researched online.  Esther was interesting because I had to transform the beautiful model from a blonde with short hair and blue eyes to a dark eyed beauty with long silky black hair.  As for the Shunammite woman, I found a cute little donkey for her to be holding.  It was amazing I could find a donkey model!
