I have had skin on the brain...Skin, skin, skin, skin beating in my mind like a drum for a while now...especially last night while at The Art's and Letter's Club. So I thought my next painting would be a study of skin....but "no". This doll fell into place...I propped her up face out and then ran to grab the phone, came back and she had twirled around and latched onto the background. Since she looked kinda good there I left her. I love this part of a painting...whenever I go to the National Gallery of London I seek out the Rubens- the incomplete ones where you can see his draftsmanship...and less of his "pinache".
