The portrait of Gueinne Hanover is now complete except for the tweaking! Praise the Lord!

I worked on the painting on Monday in spite of the fact that some of the previous work was still a little bit tacky. There wasn’t much to do, but it was about the most difficult part of the entire painting: those nasty straight lines and curved lines of the bike!

But it was put in place in the first session, then tweaked a little bit in the next.

I also did some tweaking to the driver, including the rather complicated looking design on the helmet, touched up the race track, and began the lettering at the bottom.

After that, a day or two to dry and I’ll look it over to see if I’ve missed anything and it will be D-O-N-E!

Once that happens, I’ll have to take it to the gallery, where I can place it on an easel and get sufficient light and distance to take a good photograph. It will probably stay there until it’s ready for framing or for delivery, whichever the client chooses.
