COMPLETED PHOTO REFERENCE FOR THE VIKING FAMILY PORTRAIT

MY GOAL IS TO BEGIN THE FINAL PAINTING NO LATER THAN OCTOBER 1ST. I am now completing B & W drawing and color oil studies to work out the final artistic decisions for the painting. I will post those as I finish them. 
          The color study for Brita, the Viking mother, will be done from life at the Runestone Museum on Thursdays, September 11th, 3-5 pm and the 25th 6-8 pm. The public is invited to the session on the 11th. The 25th may be reserved for Museum members only. 
          The finished study will be posted and on display in the Museum. This is indeed a marathon project that will be well worth the effort. Hope you can joint me to see the painting cross the finish line at the Museum next April!
