My Neighbor Chez

 

 

I have been enjoying doing landscapes recently. The day before,  I ran into my neighbor Chez when he was walking his dog. I felt he was kind of paintiable, so I offered to paint him. He nicely accepted. Today I set up by his pool side to paint him. When I was finished, Chez was surprised that I could have accomplished so much in about three hours. of course, I appreciated his compliment, but I knew I could have done it faster. I experimented a little with color, especially in terms of cool colors vs. warm colors and learned something, but I could have been cleaner with strokework.
