Slow progress...

Slow progress it is!! Fine detail work certainly takes it's time!
I haven't been able to paint as much lately, with how busy I have been. We've had many home projects going, my son has moved into a house with his girlfriend, all the late summer chores, etc. Seems like we've been swamped lately. The motorcycle paintings also take a long time to really develop. It seems like I will paint for weeks before I really feel like I'm making progress. Here I'm starting with the light colors before I begin punching in the deep tones. This motorcycle will look different from my other ones with the colors I'm using, too. This bike was done in bright colors, and at the show it had some colored lights on it as well. It should prove to be unusual when it's done! With the outdoor work and other projects concluding, I'm hoping to be able to work more steadily on painting.
Back to work!
