Oil painting Red room musicians with progression by Gloria Poole,RN,artist; Missouri

I, Gloria, just completed this oil painting today 26 Jan 2015 and I am posting it here with the progression of it so viewers can see how it progressed. Numbered. Copyrighted as always. See notice.

This is stage 10 of this process as I photographed it but actually there were many changes in between. If you scroll down and then back up you will follow the sequence. Also, I included photos I photographed of my studio corner for oil painting and my palette. I named this oil painting "Red room Musicians", and it is 18 x 24 on canvas. This painting provoked an attack on one of my cell phones that I photographed this painting with in the early stages of it. Then cyber-criminals tried to hijack my cell phone number and inserted malware into my cell phone to block all options but making or receiving phone calls. I suppose they thought they were hijacking the image of this painting but it didn't work. I photographed it again. Also, I tweeted about that on 2 of my twitter accounts : @Tartan-Bliss and @gloriapoole. FYI. These are not real people in this painting.

This is stage 9 of this process.

This is stage 7 of this process.

This is stage 3 of this process.

This is stage 2 of this process. I drew in the basics with very thin white oil paint and a brush.

This is stage 1 of this process. These photos below are of my studio corner where I usually paint oil paintings. I have three designated areas in my apt in Missouri for creating art, and this is one of them.

This is my stuido corner where I paint oil paints. I like this easel for painting oil paints because it has that tray underneath it and I put tubes of oil I opened on it, and lay brushes on it if I don't need them for a while. You also see turpentine which is a solvent to thin oil paints, and cans to wash brushes in turpentine with, and a smaller table top easel. I also have a giant easel in my living room where I prop sketches and oil paintings to photograph them so the light is behind me.
