BACK ON COURSE

The previous painting felt like a bit of a diversion, in my mind it is a successful painting but I didn’t like the process of making it. It felt like I was forcing an idea onto the painting rather than it being a conversation between me and it. This new painting feels like a more natural process, I try something, sometimes it works, sometimes it needs modifying but the painting is telling me what it needs and it feels like a real learning process. Its going well. Really strange situation with the sky of yesterday, it almost photographed entirely in monochrome? I have been repainting some areas of the sky today and will continue doing that but overall it wont change a great deal.
