This painting is finished!
Most of you will see no changes to
this from last week. The changes have been subtle, and that’s probably why I’ve
decided that this painting is complete. I guess I could continue to tinker with
it – for who knows how long. But, when I get to this stage, where any changes I
make don’t really have an effect on the appearance, it’s done. I added a bit of
color here and there, filled in some darks, sharpened up some edges.
I also added some more paynes grey
to the sky, darkening it a bit here and there and defining the edges of some of
the clouds. I didn’t go further because I didn’t want the sky to become more
important and attract notice. It’s a supporting element.
So, the painting will have to stand
as it is.
In addition to working through this
painting I’ve been busy on other projects this holiday season. In addition to
helping decorate the house I’ve completely re-finished a dresser for my
daughter, who, by the way, is due to deliver twins tomorrow! It seems like last
week when she announced she was going to become a mother once again. Now the
time has arrived. The family will be quite busy over the next few days with the
new arrivals.
I’ve got some ideas for my next
project and am working through narrowing it down. I never lack ideas. There’s a
snow scene in mind, a portrait and a landscape high on the list. Next week I’ll
present my next project.
