What I Did Today

Well, ok, I didn't do all this today.
Most of these paintings have been in progress for quite some time now...

That said - I did work on them all today and some have changed quite a bit since this morning. I am getting the feeling they are going to look pretty good when they are finished! That'll probably take a couple more weeks though.

Here are some before & after images.


This one has no title yet:


it can go either way...



...but I like it this way, it just feels more peaceful with some space in the middle rather than having the city all crowded together.


Lowering:



this one may be finished, maybe.... or very very very close....



The Gamble:



Well it was a losing gamble, putting those portrait drawings in there with my black sharpie marker... maybe the paint will cover them, though I suspect they will continue to ghost through no matter what I do.


Whatever Leads To Joy:






A Street Divided:





Oh, how nice to be finally at the point where they are starting to be close to finished! I have been going through periods of discouragement and just slogging along in the studio, adding layers and more layers, wondering where it's all going -
It always seems like things go on forever with no discernable result, and then suddenly...!

the hurdle has been put behind me
*sigh*
