Another Portrait of Lisa

Since this week I managed to kill both my digital camera and my laptop this post is photographed and written on my mobile phone.  Technology failed me this week so I had to  go low tech for this painting.  I was working on this image for a screen print but, since I planned on scanning the sketches and importing them into photoshop to manipulate for the screen, I had to abandon  that plan.  Instead, here I am, using a grainy black and white print out of a reference photo that is trapped on my dead computer, inventing colors and turning this idea into another oil painting.

Not Tonight! oil painting in progress by Nick Ward

Check back in a few days and see the final touches on this painting, hopefully, photographed with an actual camera.
