| Both above photos were taken in filtered daylight, with slightly different adjustments. I think if I overlaid them, I'd be close to having what it actually looks like. So, it's almost finished. I'm having a small niggling thought about maybe painting some soft, barely-there branches at the top of the doorway. |
 |
| I've started the smaller of the two bridge paintings. I suppose this is something of a practice run. I painted a very w/w drizzly wash, using aureolin, quin. pink and cobalt blue, and encouraged it to run vertically. |
 |
| This is the second w/w wash - same idea, but I also used quin. siena. I think the next wash, I will focus on the water, using the same technique. I had two very intense days at work. I think most people believe their hygienist is a heartless soul, but I care very much about my patients. I woke up early this morning, thinking of my last patient yesterday - an extremely difficult case from all dental perspectives. I had to call the office, to ask the receptionist to check on her. But now I have two weeks of painting and horsing around and planning for an open studio in August ahead of me. As ever, your comments are most welcome! |
I love your picture but I know what you mean about maybe needing something in the corner. Before you put it in take a piece a plastic and put it over the picture and do a practise run. That may help you decide. Looking good though. Enjoy your holiday.
ReplyDeleteI really love the 'two moons'! I don't think you should do anything about it, but I'd like to see what others will say. Enjoy your two painting/horsing weeks!
ReplyDeleteWhen I retired, I thought that time would be mine; I could do as I liked, when I liked.
ReplyDeleteIn the event: I go to bed later and later and get up earlier and earlier. I work harder but get paid less. I never get everything I want to do done and the list of projects grows!
The paintings are progressing beautifully!
Kathryn you are such a wonderful person. :)) I don't think hygenists are horrible, I actually really love mine, she is so sweet and very gentle. It's the dentist I have a problem with because of all the DRILLING!!!! Brunz is looking SO great! What a difficult angle to draw, but you nailed it. And the wash looks fabulous too, you're growing with each painting Kathryn.
ReplyDeleteOf course we love what we see!
ReplyDeleteWe can tell your heart is so kind- you care about your patients.
