Happy that things are actually moving forward again. I have to admit I have been having to fight a little stress. I get this way when I start a large project, and things are going really well, then i get worried that I will mess it up. The thinking goes like this, it looks good now, if I just leave it this way, I can image what it might be and not worry about messing it up.

This can be an extremely difficult feeling to push through. I am very grateful for all the support and encouragement. Having finished my book has also helped me to refocus to finish this project. 

I look forward to being able to post more updates soon.

Keep moving forward.

I realized that even though I posted my current status of the project, I had not defined it. So, I am fixing that with this post. To the left is the reference image that i am using for the Family portrait. In addition, I have never done a digital painting like this before, so i am discovering new techniques all the time.

I have restarted this project multiple times using different approaches. I am extremely hopeful that this approach will work. I am currently making good progress, and look forward to the final result.

​Keep watching for updates.
