I'm still having a look at how Dan McCaw does things. McCaw uses a lot of broken color, relies on big linked shapes and often uses tons of neutrals. This is about 1/3 done. I'm taking a break from it until tomorrow. It's all just a big experiment.

Oh but this is looking magnificent indeed, Celeste. I am reminded of Camelot, for some reason. Something very JackieO about that large sun hat and that wrap that keeps her skin safe from the sun. Add the little one to her lap...sigh...magical!
I love where this is going Celeste.
feels like mothers day inspiration to me. :)
Awesome!
I love this Celeste! I too am utterly intrigued with Dan's work...:)
yum-yum! very McCaw-ish, I love the shape in the composition and can't wait to see where you take it....breaks help not to overwork.
This is looking fabulous!
I so admire the way you set yourself stylistic objectives with such lucidly articulated understandings. And then achieve them! I learn so much in the process.
Really liking it so far - especially the mass of the mothers body.
Was Mother's Day an inspiration? It truly is a great start, and I want to see the final result.
Your experiments always seem to work beautifully.
