Gabby's dress





8/1/2026



I spent two full days painting the dress, and the following two days painting Gabby's arms and hands. While these areas dry, I will proceed to the background elements, which are very complex. Each area is at the stage of being only the initial foundation with many hours at the easel yet to come.



It has been a busy summer, but I have found some hours to invest in Acacia's portrait. I put a lot of work into the mountainous background as well as perfecting some subtle details in her face and further developing her hair.
