A step closer to completion. Curious how different paintings dictate different treatments. Bird in a tree 11 required a much more delicate touch. This painting has a more robust treatment and I prefer it. The space is more naturalistic and satisfying.
It would be good to understand what elements of this series of paintings are succeeding and failing. I feel I have only just started on the journey, this is very encouraging. I am not going to force a direction, the paintings will lead me and the development of the idea will appear gradually and seem more authentic.
Anyway, a week of rain is forecast. Studio painters love rain. It makes planning the next day so much easier.
