Remembering the Great Things of God

Well, this is what I've gotten done so far on my painting for the Art Competition. The sketch is not complete. For example, I want to add a child under the outstretched arm of the woman on the left. And, I'm not sure what to do with the background behind the woman on the left. Also, I have just sketched a simple bowl being handed from one woman to the other, just like I had mentioned before, with the plan of having it filled with either fruit or vegetables. However, I'm thinking about changing it to a water pitcher.

The woman on the right will be older, as you may be able to see by her "double chin" sketched in, and she will be dressed in fancy expensive clothes. The color of her fabric will be more "rich" looking than what is there now. The woman on the left will be dressed in simple clothes with neutral simple colors. She is younger with children under foot.

Behind them I have sketched a well, which needs to be larger I think. Behind the well is a building with a tree. Whether this background stays is something you and I will just have to wait to see.

I still have a lot of research to do on 1st century clothing, landscapes, etc. I also need to get lots of pictures of my models - Bethany, Lauren and Ashley - in the same pose.

So, wish me luck and I'll keep your posted.
