I am slowly turning this painting around. You would think that after decades of painting I would get it right first time but this is rarely the case. I don’t think its due to any incompetence. I can do lots of other skilled work and get it right with far less practice. I think that’s one of the aspects of painting that makes it so beguiling, it seems to slip through your grasp, yet you keep believing that one day you will get the hang of it. I do feel this painting has finally turned the corner. Plenty still to do so it should keep improving.
