Last Thursday and this Monday were both disasters. For the first time ever I produced a painting that I was too embarrassed to show anyone. I scrubbed it off before I came home. Monday's wasn't much better and I was getting really frustrated.
Wednesdays sketch group model was Leah and she had a great face to paint so I was inspired. This painting has some problems but I like to think that I would have fixed most of them I hadn't run out of time. I do feel and I was told that I managed a great likeness and in portraits that is important.
This morning we were in Hidden Valley Park. It was cold. It was 4 degrees C but there was a cold wind and we just aren't acclimatized to this weather yet. I wasn't prepared for it either . I will be next time. I debated putting the three maples standing equally spaced like a row of soldiers but that is the way they were planted and part of the charm of the scene.
I haven't decided if I like this one but it is much better than the last two landscapes so I am happy.
