I'm working again on "Fall Leaves 2" now.  Here's the start of one of the leaves.  Yes it looks rough, but you should have seen how "Red Rose 1" looked in the beginning stages!

After making some adjustments to the painting since yesterday, I think I'm pretty much finished with "Fall Leaves 1."    Here's a close-up:

 

 There are a few details that may still need some attention, but it's done overall.

It's interesting trying to fit the time for painting into my schedule.  I work on these in little bits and pieces around the demands of raising 2 young children.  It's a challenge when our 14-month-old takes a special interest in my materials.  This afternoon, she took off with one of my sponges.

Note to self:  Have everything put away while she's around.  You would think this would be common sense, but I've been known to lapse a little in the common sense department from time to time.  ;)
