Labor Day weekend seems to ring in the last days of summer!  Where did all the summer days go?  It was only yesterday that the kids were out of school, and plans were being made - and now cooler days are on the way.  I have been working on this painting, and now I think it is finished.  It will be hanging with another painting, so the two need to display well together.  I will let them rest together on easels for a few days - just to make sure no other detail calls out to me.   This is number 9 in September’s 30 day challenge and this painting makes 982 for me in 982 days :)

Butterfly Kiss

We had our annual Fourth of July party today, and had so much fun with friends and family!  The last of the guests have left, besides the ones that are staying over, so I am only now getting this portrait posted.  This commission is a portrait of three sisters, capturing that sweet little "butterfly kiss".  I love the control I have over the graphite, I can make it do whatever I want.  So unlike the charcoal I having lately been using, where it often times throw me a curve ball.  Making this post short and sweet - this is artwork number 183 in as many days.  I am so tired, I may just sleep in late tomorrow!
