I thought I would continue with the dramatic titles during the Easter period. The act of desperation refers to the use of ‘the big brush’. After an age of fiddling the frustration was getting too much to bare. I was messing around where the tree line meets the horizon and getting nowhere. I just could not get the subtlety I was after and so I got a big dry brush and just blended everything together, and it worked.
I think this painting is finished, I may tweak it after a couple of days of contemplation but no big changes are expected. I am happy with it and also excited about what is to come. This is a bit of a turn around, at last.
High plateau. Finished
