multitudes

well not really.  But  two paintings I'm working on that involve more than one or two figures.  lots of low key movement in one and lots of quiet waiting in the other . . .

 Main fellow seems to be the only one who's actually got any sense of anticipation . . .

Not sure if the joy and beauty of the women's skirts makes up for the sheer pain in working out how to paint such complex and colorful moving patterns (working left to right and I've just started on the long blue skirt in the middle . . . lots to go!)
