Slowly moving along...

It's been a while since I posted any progress so I decided to do so.  The first painting is coming along quite well in my opinion.  It still needs a lot of tweaks here and there but so far I am pretty happy with it.  My last semester of school just started last week so I think my eight hour shifts at the easel will drop to shorter, more manageable times either late at night or early in the mornings (most likely both).  Anyway, here is a shot of the first painting in its current state.

Painting 1 (Stage 3)

As I said earlier, the first painting still has a long way to go but it'll get there.  My biggest frustration with it has been the fabric.  In other news, I have also begun the second painting that will be hung to the left of Painting 1.  Below are a few images to show the progression.
