I've been working further on the paintings I started recently.

I just love seeing how these evolve. They are really getting so rich.
ReplyDeleteThe trees are one of my favorites. What updates were done on that Jean? The earlier trees are showing up on a different page. I'll bet pa can tell.
ReplyDeleteyup, I can AH (she says in self admiration)...On the trees, less blending more specific brush strokes and beefed up the highlights.
ReplyDeleteThe first one has more then one reading. Makes it more interesting to me because of that.
The comparisons would be easier if you put them together and size them the same.
Thanks for looking.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I'm really liking having a record of the evolution as I add --or sometimes subtract-- paint.
AH and PA, I changed the settings so that the earlier posting of trees is now at the bottom of the page; a quick and lazy temporary fix. When I feel more energetic, I'll do as PA suggests because she's so right about the best way to post these.
Meanwhile, we've kind of got an accidental, "where's Waldo" game going. Anyone else care to play by weighing in with what they think are the changes?
Gosh, it is quite amazing seeing your work in progress and how it takes shape. Such patience.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shell. But it's kind of the opposite of patience. Oil painting for me is more like slap it on fast, take a break, and maybe go back and lay on some more paint. Part of the joy is how free you are to change things, if you want, yet still appreciate and keep the happy accidents.
ReplyDeleteSo interesting - still, I have a feeling my patience levels are set a little lower than yours, Jean. :)
ReplyDeleteWoo woo. I can see. Many changes on the left hand side. More definition to the buildings, less reflection. More definition to the ground. More definition to the leaves.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is, AH, that once I've finished painting, I'm not certain about what I've changed, unless the change is visible. Usually, I'm really painting over the entire painting.
ReplyDeleteFor At the Museum, the main things I changed were the museum-goer and the poster. I re-painted each to re-position them on the canvas.
