Something you may not know about me:
I like to work in my studio alone. It helps me focus, especially when I’m working on a more challenging aspect of a painting. I do have “roommates,” though, and occasionally a cat will be asleep on my lap while I paint. These moments are short, as cats tend to change their sleeping areas throughout the day, but has become an almost daily occurrence. So this is a photo from my vantage point behind the easel.

Then I add a rough first layer of paint just to work everything in and then add numerous subsequent layers, building color and value as I go.
