NaMoPaiMo day twenty three

After almost three straight weeks of warm, spring-like weather, winter made a comeback today.

That was fine by me. Cold weather makes for productive studio days. I spent my morning happily doing battle with Aggie. I still don't think she'll be done be finished before the end of February, but I'm not giving up without a fight.

This isn't exactly the color I was aiming for, but it's pretty darn close. She needs another coat of paint to cover the thin spots and soften the blending, plus I'd like to darker her top line and add a little more shading. After that, I'll seal and paint her markings and ribbons with acrylics.

I'm not the only one who's still plugging away at this.
