I had fun this week thinking about and then completing the paintings I started at Big Bend. I learned a few things too. While I usually paint wet-on-wet, I found out that if I let the paint dry for a week, I then have a new surface to work on, and I can bring out the lights, apply some atmosphere, and make some nice details happen.
It's been a great weekend to work in my studio, and think about color, depth, values... and then apply the new paint to the surface. I got all fired up, and not only finished the paintings, but also framed and hung them. I love seeing something through to completion.
