Maybe it's redundant to keep posting the same "before" photos of the paintings at each stage. But it helps me to see them all together and see how a few brush strokes can make a big change. DUH. I guess it also reinforces the helpful mantra "it's only paint."
Here is the original "Half Moon Bay Landscape" that I started in January this year! It was just too busy and I gave up on it.
Here it is at the "very green" after a few washes of greens.
It's now end of July and I'm seeing how it can be good to put away a painting and go back to it at a later date!
still in progress...
