Elaine O. — July 1, 2023

For all practical purposes, this is finished! I have to add the balloon ribbons and tweak the background, but that's about it. There's a lot I like—the composition, the movement, the color pathway and the fact that the hands aren't awful. But I'm especially happy that I kept the focus where I wanted it and didn't go crazy with the details as I moved outward.

Oh, and I'm also glad I can now paint mylar balloons.... should the need ever arise again. Safe and happy 4th of July to all!

  1. This is great with all the motion. Perhaps more definition in his left foot.
