Front steps
Posted: June 3, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 19 CommentsHere is the pretty much finished painting that I started yesterday. The scene was as I left it except for a cushion on the wicker chair and two cats who perched on the stairs and were definitely hoping for a place in the painting. When I scan my work I always see a few things I want to change but for now I will leave it as is.
I enjoyed seeing the painting in two steps…to my untrained eye, yesterdays looked great. The finished product looks greaterer.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Me, too.
Thank you all!
Your colour tones are so spot on. I always seem to try to improve the colours, add another layer, but after looking at yours I seem to be overdoing it all the time. thanks for shring the halfway one.
Thanks René. Too bad you don’t live in Paris. I will giving my workshop there next week. You could have come!
Actually, I saw that note for the workshop too late, and I was already occupied for next week. Paris is not even that far away from where I live (400km). Maybe a next time?
Next time for sure René.
Love this one too – the cats would have been a cute touch, but I don’t really miss them!!

Thanks Helen.
It was so much fun seeing your painting in progress and to anticipate the completion.
i loved all the detail in your plants in the foreground and the flower pot yet it is all very loose
and free with such fresh colour!
Thank you Mary!
Well, you surprised me… when I saw the half finished one, I though “She’s blown it this time.” I was expecting to see a completely new painting today with an excuse about road works in the street or the house being demolished overnight. But this is amazing… I think the people who go to your workshop will be very happy if they can watch this happen in real time.
You don’t have much confidence in me, do you?
Let’s just say that I had misplaced concern. : )
I will know better next time.
I love how you draw my attention to the chair with the stairs. Expertly composed. Woooo hooo!
Thanks Steven!
Shari I’m assuming you don’t know the folks who live here? They would be THRILLED to see this beautiful rendition of what they must take for granted every day….do you sell any of these sketches? I am enjoying visiting this page every day and have spread the love on my fb so others can as well.
Mona, I am so busy sketching and planning the upcoming workshops that I don’t have much time to market my work. Do you want to be my agent?? But I am trying to do more on paper, like this one, that I can sell. Or have a show… I am trying not to do so many in books. Thanks for spreading the word.
