I got to the point where I was ready to paint the lower portion and realized that my reference photo had been cropped. I quite literally cut my own throat here. (thank you, that pun just popped into my head). I have been grumbling about the digital frame I use for my reference photos. It's difficult to navigate because the cheap buttons on the back don't always work. In short, I need a normal computer display to work from so the I can get rid of this thing. (or I can just work from life, but this one has specific lighting that won't look right if I do that) The digital menu jumps around and I can't find the photo I need, then when I go to zoom it jumps out of the menu and I have to start over. Hate is a strong word...I hate that thing. By the way, my pc is just across the room and too far away to use, so Ill probably end up using my old pc as a photo holder and get a new monitor for that.
Now that I've vented, the actual photo is on this computer and I'll have to upload to the digital frame to go any further. The danger of not being able to work on something when I'm ready is that I start to tinker with the finished parts. So instead of tinkering, I decided to post this. More as it develops.
