The show continues.I am now mostly settled in my new bungalow ... and able to resume work on LITTLE ITALY.
This piece was largely unsuccessful... until I challenged myself to finish.
I proceeded to do a lot of things to solve the areas that weren't working by painting them out. I painted the whole light side of the angel with light value blue-- then added Quin Gold wash on top.
I added texture over the whole painting to unify and bring out deep wall values. All in all.. I learned a lot and ended up liking it much more than I would of ... if the painting had gone the way I originally scripted.
This is when -- I believe -- the painting has something to 'teach you" ... if one is humble enough to accept the lesson.
