Painting in 90 Degrees

Painting in a hot third floor apartment has been a challenge this summer.  Not only have I been a little baffled with subject matter but the electrical line breaker to the air conditioner keeps popping!  I continue on regardless, although the smell of oil paint can be overwhelming when combined with 90 degree temperatures.  My cousin commissioned me to paint her baby Kasha (left) which was challenging since I have not met the little girl.  I also got around to capturing this little group of ballerinas (right).  I decided to hip up their classical tutus with some color.
