Little progress with the azaleas today with just some work of the lower flower in the shade but I completed two other working sketches. The figure is planned for the 'kitchen' painting and the ladies shoe (amongst very expensive ones many seen in Sachs of New York) is for a possible painting using a subject that I'n not familiar with. As an artist, I feel that it is good to challenge yourself and move the safe boundaries working in unfamiliar subject matter. This is how I progress and learn new things.
