"Daydreaming at the Cafe" by Taryn Day

oil on panel
7"x 7"

The weather is dark and stormy, and it was hard to get a photo without glare.  I will retake pictures soon, but this is pretty accurate color-wise.  As for the painting, for some reason I found this devilishly difficult to pull off but now I'm happy with it.  This is my lovely daughter, Julia.

Your paintings are amazing. You make it look easy with your strokes but I know what you mean when you think it is just not happening until you look at it finished.
