In Progress: Nearing the Finish
The reflections and river bank are the zones I painted the most this session. I also added more branches, and smudged the water.
I didn't expect to be so eager to finish a painting. Usually near the finish, I will try to stare it done.
My 5th grade teacher told my mother that I am a good artist, but I don't know when to stop. I think I am learning it is good to know when a painting is complete.
I am sure there are folks out there that see finished before I do because the computer screen blends the details. I can add more thin branches and plants along the banks.
For now, I am going to rest the painting until tomorrow afternoon. I will tweak it some. Then, I will sign my 31 inch X 24 inch acrylic painting,
"The Middlebury River in October."
Great job on the reflection!
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeleteThank you, I appreciate the feedback
The reflections are my favorite part of the painting.
:)
Your painting is really good. I don't think you have overworked it at all. In the Sept/Oct issue of "Artists Magazine" there's an article about knowing when to quit on a painting. I think about everyone has that problem!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debra!
ReplyDeleteYou've help me ease up on my nerves. That is news I need to b hear. I will read the article.
I'm one of those people that see it finished long before you do (as I know I've mentioned before). I am so impressed with the water and the reflections - well done! You're giving me incentive to attempt my next landscape that has a water feature. Can I do it using fabric? Time will tell.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
