It’s one of those paintings that doesn’t have that sudden realisation of NO MORE! This is a painting of endless tweaks. Creeping forward, yes, but with results that are barely perceptible. Like a freshly made loaf of bread, it needs to rest.
Tomorrow morning I will head straight to the painting for some clarity and certainty. Then I will know if it’s finished. I am happy to let it settle for now.
Bird in a tree 12. At the end of day 5, finished.
