Another in my portrait series of the Impressionists--this one of Edgar Degas. If you recall, in January I attended a great Degas exhibition at the MFAH--http://orbisplanis.blogspot.com/2017/01/a-degas-exhibition.html

If you want to put your painting skills, not to mention your patience, to a test, try a portrait!

Well, it had been four years since I painted a bluebonnet, so disregarding my blog post from 2013, I went ahead and painted another one. I hope you enjoy the view of the Texas Hill Country.
