Work in Progress: The Rescuer
I started this painting a few years ago but just couldn’t get it so I used gesso and removed everything I want to change. I’ve put the painting on the easel and will turn it and look at it from all angles for the next few days. This will help…

Pencil Drawing, Tree Child
