The warm weather is upon us so I've started to work on a new oil painting. Below session 1(on the left) putting on the first layer to the face and session 2 (on the right) a bit more work on the face and blocking the hair/background.

I've been working on getting this piece just right for over a year and finally finished it the other night. To date this is the largest pin up piece I've finished at roughly 16x20. Title " Vegas Nights" of Playboy Playmate Of The Year 2011 Claire Sinclair. Love working with this girl!
