Day 2 of the FaceBook Challenge

 
 Today's FaceBook Challenge entries
See descriptions below.

Dear friends,

I am not that computer savvy and it shows
in my Facebook album shot for today's
contribution.   Today is my second
day of the FaceBook Challenge and I nominate
Sally Chupick, a wonderful artist who runs the
Gallery at the Porch Door near Kingston, Ontario,
Canada, which you absolutely must visit if you're
in the Kingston area on a summer weekend.

Today's offerings from me are some of my
commissioned portraits.  The two women posed
for me for endless hours at a time, and the children
were the beginning of a new way of working for me.
I photographed them in their home, talked to their
mother about what she wanted and then got
photos of the children to work from.  They could
not pose for me for more than a few minutes at
a time.

Both ways of working are highly enjoyable.  

 I am showing the paintings in the order that
they were painted.

Have a loving-your-work day.
