Today was a Good Day

Monday not so much.  We were at Fieldcote Museum on Monday and I tried for the second very unsuccessful time to paint the front of the Tudor style building.  I don't think that I have ever done a painting with dappled light that I have been happy with.  I loved my underpainting but it went steadily downhill from there.  I am too embarrassed to post it and that doesn't happen often.

The sketch group today was just the opposite.  Brandon is a wonderful young model and it is a pleasure to sketch him.  I painted him a year ago in oils and this time I used my pastel pencils which are way more fun.  I have included a very grainy photo taken with my iPhone so you can decide if you think that I managed a likeness.
