This painting is really coming along. It's now just a matter of building up the paint and color to achieve the appropriate texture and depth.

I've begun my sketch for the next Mary Magdalene painting. It's going to be a big one: 3 by 4 feet. Hopefully, this photo captured enough detail to convey the general layout.

Sometimes you want a donut!
There are times when a little junk food can really make your day. A bit of sunshine and some strawberry frosting can go a long way to elevate one's mood!
