Re: What's On Your Easel?....April 2012
Some more progress on this one today. Am a bit happier with how it's progressing now, but still quite a long way to go. This is oil on stretched canvas, 20 x 16.

Graham, this is challenging for sure but I think you are doing wonders with it.

Re: What's On Your Easel?....April 2012
I am unsure about the palm tree right in the middle of the picture; it's in the reference picture but I think it stands out too much. Should I lose it?

Graham I think you should, unless you want it in some way to be the focal point.

Lavenderlady - your rendering of the young lady with the harmonica is not only done superbly, but evokes her passion. Wonderful stuff!

I really do love this piece.
