I decided that today would be my last on this copy. I could have gone on longer, but I felt that I had worked on it long enough. I kind of messed up the baby's face toward the end of the day... I corrected the drawing of the eyes, but changed the color in a bad way, and the nose is all wrong now. It was after lunch, and I was getting tired. Not a good time to keep on painting, but I did anyway, because I needed to finish it. Other than the baby's nose (which I suppose I could correct at home if I am so inclined), I think it's acceptable.

Once again, I invite you to click on the images to enlarge them, and flick back and forth between the two. You'll see where mine is still off... but enough is enough, and I just didn't want to keep working on it.
The final copy
Next week, I will start a new copy: Cézanne's "Still Life with Apples and Peaches". It looks like it will be a lot of fun!

Amy,
You're way too hard on yourself! The baby's nose looks great, as does the final canvas. The Cezanne should be an interesting change. Lorraine
Haha, thanks, Lorraine! I'm looking forward to a nice, quiet still life.
