Not varnished because all the little things that take it from a good painting to a painting to be proud of are still niggling at me. It will be tomorrow morning, unless I get an energy burst tonight.
I would approach it differently if I were to paint this again. But I think I have achieved the effect that I was looking for. The critic in me wont be silenced, but the pragmatic me says I have done enough. It is a large work and I could go on improving it forever.
It's time to sleep on it... or at least sign it and leave it alone for a bit. It's now up to approximately 25 hours, plus all the thinking time, and there are may be another four or five hours to go. This has been a good week's work :-)
In the meantime a little watercolour is waiting so patiently for my attention.
Today I am grateful for cups of tea.
