I am enjoying young people at the college. They are like humming birds in the fresh air.
I met Daniella at Pierce college art class I am taking this Fall. She is only 19 yrs old and so beautiful.
I thought I will do a quick study of her from a photo which I took.
Well! so much of quick study!
I was repainting over and over to capture my impression of her. It is almost impossible to capture just the essence from the photograph without copying the photo..
I had to stop here before I totaly scrub off whole paiting out of my frustration. At least I have something to revisit later to see what I was trying to achieve from this study.
