For some reason my painting from Day 3 was reminding me of gaudy Jamaican tourist art. This was not a good quality. I think I had set myself a hard task using such an intense flat blue sky.
The modelling of the bird was also crude. At first I liked the bold handling but then it started nagging at me that something wasn’t quite right.
Looking at today and yesterdays paintings it proves my instincts were right, at least I have more certainty over the direction I want to take these paintings in. Not that it makes things any easier!
The picture is finished.
