don't you just hate it when

you paint something absolutely perfectly, but it doesn't sit well with the rest of the painting?

Darn it, thank goodness for big brushes and ruthless bold strokes.

Working too close to it Kay, walk away, walk away...

****

an hour later...

A new brush was all it took... beautiful to use, absolutely beautiful. And no one else, not even Sarah, gets to use this brush...




And now to crop it, just a little... and tidy up the odds and ends. But that collar still distracts... must think some more... maybe lift the other side a bit too? I think the work would lose necessary energy if I flattened the collar.
