New Painting

This is a new painting. Well it's actually intended to be a study for hopefully a larger 40x19 painting. This one is 18x8.55 and was done entirely from life. My wife modeled and it was a real challenge for her since it was an awkward position to hold and I had to turn the heat off since this is the boiler and it got much too hot for her. My mom made the fabulous dress!
