Here is a work in progress view of my big eye Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead painting. I'm pretty much happy with the eyes, but I have more work to do on her neck and shoulders. Even when I've worked with the shading a bit, I'm not sure if she needs something more there; maybe a bit of her blouse, a necklace, possibly a tatttoo. Or the possibility exists that when I've entirely finished with the rest of the painting, she may not need anything at all, so I'll wait until later to decide for certain. I can put her into photoshop and pre visualize the options when I'm further along...
I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday. To see more participants, please visit:

Love your Blood of the Nile painting! No wonder it's sold .... Love seeing how other artists create. Very interesting to see that you start with the eyes. With me the eyes are usually the last thing I paint ...
Both sets of eyes are very expressive and lovely. Blessings, Janet PPF
