THOR - IF I COULD DROP IT ALL AND MIGRATE TO L.A. I WOULD DO IT RIGHT NOW (he says with fingers crossed).

Here's my progress on Vig.4 number two. I'm gonna be a little self indulgent and show more of my world.

Sunday session number one, 10:00am:

I don't remember showing my studio before.

I'm just beginning to show the main lighting. Everything is crude at this stage but I'm defining where things are so I can spruce them up later.

These are the hibiscus shrubs outside the studio window.

Sunday session number two, 8:00pm:

In the foreground is one of the hisbiscus shrubs. The studio window is near my right shoulder.

We finally got a heavy rain shower.

I've got a halloween wig on a tripod to help me do more realistic hair this time.

A recent pic of a similar subject

This is two weeks ago while I was finishing a copy of Vignette #2 (the last of the series). I'm using fake plants as reference. Anything to add a little more realism.

I want to thank anyone who looks at this. It is nice to show some of my surroundings because I like seeing those of other artists and thought I'd share mine. There's even a magazine dedicated to showing artists' studios.
