Ok, its just half a day at best, but the motivation is growing. Some more work to make the painting feel cohesive. Really an attempt to balance the light across the painting to give it a mood that is ‘naturalistic’ and ‘credible’. There has been a subtle shift in the right direction and its not far from finished.
These paintings have the proper feel of ‘English landscape’, warm browns and greens, no sign of the Impressionists or Fauvists here. I like the tone of these recent paintings, they have a softness, both in colour and light, which essentially are the same thing.
