For a number of weeks... I have been steadily working on this painting of FUNGUS from Napa Valley. It's a kaleidoscope of color --- adding up to a nature scene of fungus, leaves, blades of grass, rock, log, dirt. It has been a challenge.. and time consuming.
It' is not finished.... but I am not going to finish it for a few days now. I don't believe you shroud finish paintings too quickly - especially when you are heavily invested in working on them.
The best 'finishes' I make-- are ones when I' put the panting away for a number of days- and then resolve it with 'fresh eyes' and perspective

Beautiful! Mesmerizing, and fascinating. Can't wait to see the finished work.

Carol! This is stunning. I was going to comment on the Iris (which is also stunning) and scrolled down to find this. Congrats on your recent sales. If I were closer to St. Louis, I'd sign up for some classes. Would love to learn how you work.
