Tuesday:I'm not done with this one yet, but I think I need to put it away for a few days so I can figure out where I want to go with it. When I started it, I had the intention of cropping the painting to make it work, but I think that lack of focus hurt me when I went to paint it. More about this later....
And it is later: Wed. So after looking at the painting I knew that I liked the sky, but wasn't sure about the building (school) on the left. Then something struck me. I think this painting would really work if more of the sky was featured in the top half. Too much foreground and not enough back ground. In fact, the more I look at it, the more I realize the sky could have really brought this to life. Lesson noted

funny how when we are evaluating these things, we see things others do not see at all. I like it all as is...and that glowing light intrigues. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm liking it more, but I still feel like it needs something. The original idea was even darker than this one, but I decided that might not interest the eye enough.
