I practiced acrylic painting every day except one in January, and am on track to do the same for February 2019. What I have not done is finished many paintings. But they are getting closer! Virginia Woolf from my last post is the first acrylic painting I can say I am happy with, and is finished. YAY!
This post contains two works in progress – Toni Morrison and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They are coming along pretty nicely. Learning to paint is a long process and often frustrating! But nobody can become a better painter (or musician or dancer or a lot of other stuff) without practice. The trick is just to keep going!

Amazing portrait work!
beautiful portrait paintings.
have a great weekend
these paintings are so beautiful, and I love seeing the steps in bringing them to light and life!
I think these are wonderful. Nice to see your work proceedure, too. I have lots of unfinished work laying around that I can never get finished. I get so caught up in starting new stuff that I often can’t be bothered going back to stuff that I;ve moved away from.
Your portraits are stunning, keep up the good work, wow! Happy PPF, Valerie
Beautiful work. I enjoyed seeing the progress shots!
Oh these are wonderful, congrats on painting so frequently. I definitely would like to paint more often.
I certainly appreciated seeing the process. Blessings, Janet
These are quite lovely. I can see all of your work over the last 2 months.
