Paintings in progress - March '08

I'm currently working on three new paintings. As I have to wait for the first layer to dry before I put on the final touches (highlights, corrections, details such as fingers and lips), I usually work on a few paintings at a time. It takes about 1-2 weeks for a thin layer of oil painting to completely dry.
I just moved to a new place; I'm renting a room in a friend's house. So I've been painting in the backyard! Fresh air, natural light... but you have to watch out for bugs getting stuck on the wet canvas.
