Hot summer day - step I... Diverging but still in the same type of exploration!

Early this week, I played catch up with some minor house repairs to be performed before the fall. This year, it looks like we may go from summer to winter with no season in-between...

Experiencing withdrawal symptoms from lack of painting, I started this new one today...

...with the objective of leveraging the "refraction" phenomenon based on my previous experiments.

Note: I liked this pose from the "muse" as it reminded me of a famous Andrew Wyeth painting.
