I'll be varnishing it in December and told Sue I noticed a couple of spots which, "...may receive some attention during the time the painting is in my hands." Those words didn't scare Sue nearly as much as I thought they would, but then she's a sculptress and understands. You know how it is....you always see something you could have, or should have done additional work on. It's really a small spot or two...really...I promise not to wreck it.
Exactly. Sometimes I start to rework a little area, then move over and see something else, and before I know it I'm having the dreaded Charlie Brown moment (when he puts the ornament on the little tree and it droops). "I've killed it!" That's when I try to get it back to where it was and leave it alone. On the other hand, there are little things in a very good piece that you notice and you just have to fix them, even if they aren't drastic. No harm no foul. This painting is clearly in that category. Great work.

ReplyDeleteHi Rahina,
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing. I always appreciate your comments, Rahina. There will soon be a companion portrait to go alongside it. I'm just getting started on a portrait of Sue!
