Update: 

Months ago, I drew a sketch for a 14x14" wide canvas, as a commission. 

Jane collects my work, and gives me free reign.

my original idea in a quick sketch

I felt she was a Gatsby type lady, and asked for help 

with a name, Norma came up with Daisy! Perfect!

starting on the skin tone  with sewing pattern paper

I wrap the tissue around all canvas edges.

deciding on orange for the hair, so far.

base work done, almost.

           This was definitely not finished, maybe half done.                       

I just wasn't happy with how she was turning out.

Last week, I gesso'd the canvas, and Daisy is long gone.

 

Today, I did this quick sketch on the back of an envelope.

I remember Jane saying her Mom wore big hats, so that came to mind. But when I looked at the sketch there was a lot of room on top of that hat. I decided there might be a cat laying on that hat? Why not?

From there I sketched with graphite on the newly gesso'd canvas.
I planned to use the same turquoise background. I use both tissue paper and junk mail to collage with. I will use bright colors and probably circles and dots.

Lola has surfaced and is about half done? I had worked for about three hours and was too tired to continue today, but I decided to play with it digitally to see where I planned  to with her. More tomorrow?

"Lola": work-in-progress, collage on 14x14' heavy canvas, digital.

When she is finally done, in collage, I will post Lulu and we'll see how close I came?
