Beneath and beyond.

Riverbed   Oils on gessoed watercolour paper  9 x 12 inches

Soft and gentle, shallow river.

Studio Musings...

When is a painting finished?

Some might say...never.

Or until it moves on to a new home.

This certainly merits some thought.

I have reworked many paintings over the years.

Often because I am bored with them but sometimes after a day or so

when I return to look I can see where changes could be made.

The painting above is under scrutiny.

I am reasonable happy with the tree line, river and foreground.

The sky is possibly going to be altered tomorrow.

I can paint it darker, change the colour or change it back again.

I will let you know.
