After painting a couple in my comfort zone I was determined to try and challenge myself. This is my granddaughter with her puppy. The challenge is to get the likeness. I started the painting on a piece of dark green mountboard, the idea being to paint a " better" one on canvas. I still mean to do that. Two stages below, the background of the second one isn't true but you can get the idea from the first. I'm pleased so far.

Looks good to me too, Marjorie. The progression is plain to see and it's definitely moving in the right direction. Are you going to play with some shadows and will you be strengthening the tones? I wondered about a mild chiaroscuro presentation, for emphasis and atmosphere. Just thinkin'.
