Faces #575 And #576

This piece started out as just the man's face and only a glimmer of his torso. I was going to leave it at that, as Face #575. But I kept picking at it, adding her face, arms, the rest of his torso, then a background. So while I had not planned to do another piece of a couple, I arrived there. Still, I don't think I have as yet exhausted "the well" of paintings I do of lovers and know I will do more.

I hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend!
