Its afternoons like this when painting becomes a serene contemplative experience that I can’t think of many substitutes, maybe an afternoon walking around the Uffizi when nearly all the crowds have gone. It just goes to show that the solutions to an unfinished painting can’t be arrived at by thinking about it, you need to paint through it until everything seems to fit. This painting has advanced and may be finished, I will review it tomorrow.
