Portsmouth Farm II, Oil 12x24
This is the second work up of a farm piece - love the light on the buildings. I can't say I won't take the brush to this one again, but it's going to sit a bit then I'll look at it afresh. That is how I often handle the 'finished' painting. I hang it up or display it in the studio so I can't help get a fresh look at it. Usually after a couple of days, but it's sometimes as long as a couple of months when I look... stop dead in my tracks and say to myself "Of course! That roofline is off!" or "Yes, the shadow side of that cheek needs to be much darker!!!"... Or even - "That's just right." You never know...

Hi, I wanted to say thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I appreciate comments, but I am mainly saying thanks because by following you back here I've got a lot more art sites to look at; I've been wanted to find more. (call me greedy) Looks like I'm going to enjoy catching up on all your paintings. I've really enjoyed what I've seen so far.
oops... wait a minute. I've been here before (00)... I remember the photo of you painting. DUH. I bet I've got one of your sites bookmarked somewhere. (I have too many folders full of bookmarks.)
