Day 2: The Turtle And…

A hot, windy day here. All the better to hole up in a nice, cool studio with a cat and a stuffed turtle. That’s Mr. Wonderful, who loves snoozing on my still life setups as much as possible.

And the hands…. I moved a large mirror close to my easel and had to keep setting my brush down and posing my hands, then trying to draw them in from memory. I’ve drawn hands a few times before, so it’s not an impossible task.

And why all this craziness? Why Putin? What’s with the hands? I’ll explain everything when I finish this painting. Which might be pretty quick.
