Day Six - Fashion From The Fifties

Plum Cold
Lavender Jacket
Lucy Not Loose Enough
Only 10 degrees F here this morning . . . so decided to paint the lady in the "Plum" colored coat. . . may work on her facial features a little more. . . finished the other two last night . . . now that I am getting a little better handle on these images I want to start painting them much looser. . . hence the name "Lucy Not Loose Enough" . . . for those of you that care about this kind of thing . . . I went back this morning and repainted the green background of "Lavender Jacket". . . lightened it up some . . . purple and green should compliment each other however these two colors were the exact same value and the whole thing was completely flat . . . also no harmony of the two colors because I originally mixed the purple using French Ultramarine and the green using Phthalo Blue . . . still not happy with the facial features of these . . . want to nail down a more stylized and looser look overall . . . desperately need new brushes . . . all my small ones are worn down to nubs. . . may even go to town for some this afternoon . . . brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
