racing against time


But this time of my own doing. I allowed myself to be distracted and join other events instead of painting this one, due to be finished tomorrow. My relaxing weekend of painting this turned into a day painting for Colle San Magno and half a day watching helicopters and the spreading flames.

This blog post is to give me a little objectivity; I am too close to the painting.

The source photo, giving a wider view of what can be seen from the client's home.

Where I started from this morning:
where I am now, probably at the half-way stage.
and a little detail, desparately trying to resist the urge to "tidy up" the brush strokes.


Today I am grateful for bold brush strokes.
