fine things

I'm coming to a point in my life where I will not have study commitments so I can return to fine art. The snippets (only small grabs) of painting shown above are a series I call A Love Story. There is a third and yet unstarted painted to complete the series. It will be primarily green, and although I have always had an idea of what the composition will entail, I'm not sure if it is the correct ending to the tale. I painted this back in 2002 or 2003 long before Z and haven't had time until soon to start the last one.

This woman's torso was started last year but has only had two sessions. The background colours are almost complete, now to add the foreground and detail.
