Perhaps if I take an approach like this - an outdoor laying as an armature for the studio painting - I will feel less pressure outdoors.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579185594957855023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-15357042796507322812010-01-30T13:18:51.101-05:002010-01-30T13:18:51.101-05:00This painting glows!

It seems like you might have started out, in the lay in, to have a connecting circle of darks as you pointed out in an earlier post about a Hibbard composition. But then it appears you opted to open it up to the viewer. In the end, you almost close the loop again with that snow track but leave an opening to the corner. Could it be that if that opening was on the right, it would lead us out? Really nice picture and really helpful to hear your thought process as you went along. <br /><br />Might you have a few things to say about lead-ins sometime. <br /><br />Today will be a great day to test my gear for Snow Camp W.willekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626541339963605016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-20784200488226280522010-01-30T08:57:05.076-05:002010-01-30T08:57:05.076-05:00Very nice painting and a good post that gives insi...Very nice painting and a good post that gives insight into orchestrating a finish.<br />Thanks!Robert J.

This pos...Nice job with the changes you made Stape. This post is a great example of how a painter has an on-going relationship with a work in progress. Often (actually so often) you end up repainting most of the painting's surface to get it right. The mark of a good painter is the willingness to keep pushing the painting to a higher level.<br /><br />Sometimes of course the first attempt works for some of the passages. But most often it is a question of going back in to clarify, eliminate, or re-tune until the darned thing comes to life.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-15100245514621702582010-01-30T07:39:30.598-05:002010-01-30T07:39:30.598-05:00Good changes, I like the way you turned the lights...Good changes, I like the way you turned the lights up a bit.
