One of the art groups I belong to has an art challenge each week. One of our members posts several photos, from which we choose the ones we want to paint. Last week the photos were from a Civil War re-enactment. Very different from my usual subject matter!

One challenge for me was to try to do this painting in the first place, let alone do it in 2 hours. I don't usually paint people, and I rarely paint all these details.

When the two hours were up, I wasn't finished with the painting, but I posted it on the art site, then I worked on it another half hour and here's where it's at now.

I know it isn't very perfect, but I'm happy with the way it's looking. Just because it's such unfamiliar territory for me. You can see more
