The look on the Commandant of the Marine Corps face is not one any Marine wants to see.

I don’t know how much of this fatigue is from sleeping poorly or a symptom of the heart failure. Probably a little of both. I’m up against a deadline to finish this portrait of Dolly so I’ve been working on it while not sleeping. The laundry needs doing this morning too.

I’m not sure if I’m going to tackle her eyelashes today. Cutting and gluing those little pieces of paper is a pain.

Now that I’ve taken in the heart failure diagnosis, had valve surgery ruled out for now and have meds adjusted I’m back at my easel. I need to have all my pieces done by 22 September for October show.

Totals total progress.

This piece (and hopefully the Freddy Mercury piece) need to be done by September 22nd. This congestive heart failure has slowed me down. The good news is I found a seller on eBay who has fabulous ephemera for various artists.

The eyes are labor intensive but a good place to start working on the face.
August 9, 2025 at 3:12 PM
Did a little work on Dolly but then my blood pressure dropped enough for me to just be off.
August 8, 2025 at 3:47 PM
I’m finally feeling well enough to get back to my easel.

Before I varnish, Amy photo in bottom right or not?
July 25, 2025 at 3:49 PM
Got Freddy Mercury on canvas.
July 23, 2025 at 11:44 PM
Dolly’s on canvas.
July 22, 2025 at 4:35 AM
Amy Winehouse is done.

This flower will probably take at least one more day. I think I’ve tweaked everything else now however.
July 21, 2025 at 7:59 PM
Need to touch up her lips, the contours of her face and do the flower.
July 21, 2025 at 5:30 PM
The paper play has begun again.
July 16, 2025 at 1:17 PM
Making some real progress on Amy today but I’m going to have to get the chicken salad made too.
July 9, 2025 at 6:42 PM
I spent a little time working in the garden and then on to Amy.
July 7, 2025 at 5:50 PM
After sorting paper for 4 days I finally got a small amount of work done on Amy.
July 7, 2025 at 2:15 AM
Moving along.
June 30, 2025 at 2:55 AM
Progress on Amy Winehouse.
June 26, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Since I only had a few weeds left to pull and two thyme plants to get into the herb garden I’ve made some good progress on My.

I’m still waiting for the vintage Rolling stone magazines to arrive so I can figure out just what I’ll have to incorporate. Still, I’m working a little.
