On a cold snowy day…

Another Revision
Mara Twilight 2022
Primer the bits I don’t want…
The revision process…
Pretty much a total redo, lighten and brighten

It’s the first real cold snowy day we’ve had so far this fall. So what does an artist do? Paint a bright sunny day!

I painted Mara Twilight back in 2022. It’s moved from wall to wall at our house.  It’s featured on my 2024 calendar this month but it’s had no real interest or inquiries. I decided it needed brightening up. So I nixed the darkness of twilight and changed it to a bright sunny day. It’s much the same as my painting “Mara Muse”.  I miss that painting so this one may replace it.

Not only did I totally change the painting I will have to change the title too.  Any suggestions?

Finished revising Ebb and Flow

Revised Ebb and Flow

Ebb and Flow has seen a lot of changes over the last couple of days. I am happier with this new version. So far. I am fickle. There could possibly be a few more tweaks but for now I am saying “done”.  To see this painting pre revision please visit my previous post.

If you like the new version or even if you don’t feel free to let me know. Constructive criticism is welcome.

Another revision in progress….

Now you see it….
Now you don’t….
The start of something new….
Progress…?
More progress.
And more progress.

Another revision is in progress on my easel. I  painted the original in October of 2021. Shortly after my dear brother died.   I was never completely happy with the original painting. Considering the circumstances no one, including myself, should be surprised by that. At the time I thought that I would live with the painting for awhile, think on it.  I did manage to give it a title,  “Ebb andFlow”. Lately I have been giving this painting and another one a great deal of thought.  No better time than the present to have a go at revising and hopefully improving it.

My husband says the sand bar looks like it’s pushing the water. Oh oh. That doesn’t sound good. It’s supposed to be the other way around with the water pushing and surrounding the sand bar. What do you think? All that being said the painting/revision is still a work in progress. Time will tell…..
