$200 oil on canvas, "Tributary" – to purchase one of my paintings see http://www.avonwaters.com/ and "Contact Us."
Okay, I played a cruel joke on my readers. In the last entry I said the painting was destroyed. The reality is, I wanted to show how a failure can be turned around – that is of course if you think this one is any better.
If you'll compare the two paintings, you will see I have changed the colors of the background woodlands and increased the contrast of the woodland floor and the trees. And as a result of the changes, the reflection of the stream has changed and softened.
Many times paintings don't work out as planned and I must go back into them on a different day. When that doesn't work, they get painted over and no one ever sees them – but in this case, I thought you'd enjoy seeing the process.
