I love the feeling of satisfaction when I finally determine a painting is completed. I am done with the squinty eyes and scrutinizing – it is really time to put down the paintbrushes and was off my palette.
When I get near the completion of a painting I spend quite a bit of time assessing and reassessing it and second guessing myself. This is a normal part of the painting process. I want to ensure the warm tones are balanced over the painting and that the cooler tones are the right shade and intense enough to capture the perspective I wanted to achieve. I am very happy with the result.
I like to work in a series. I have been sifting and sorting through my reference materials and notes to determine what will come next. There will be at least two more 1/2 sheet watercolour florals and one large acrylic in my near future.
