Stage 2 ... and ... another unexpected and slightly more unpleasant event.......

Who'd have thought I'd love portraits?? .... Not the greatest attempt but Im learning so much from this .... there is a part of me that feels so at home with this process and the challenges lay in a different place than I expected.....not with my eyes and my medium ....but in trusting the third part of the triad that David Hockney often refers to .....the heart.  I remember the first time I heard him say - "The hand, the eye and the heart" ..... I was like a footballer who'd just scored a goal!  Well, I didnt go so far as to pull my t-shirt over my head and slide on my knees ..... but I did clench my fist, pump my arm and shout 'YES'.  
I LOVE YOU DAVID HOCKNEY X
The unpleasant part came when the phone rang as I was painting and made me jump out of my skin - splashing deep maroon paint all over her sweet cheek and shoulder.....managed to save the cheek but not the shoulder alas...........note to self.....switch phone off when working.......
