Two Small Works

It's been a long, slow week. I haven't felt motivated and probably need a week off from painting, but maybe I'll feel more excited on Monday. Although Monday is a federal holiday; that's likely to throw me off schedule.

The little restaurant painting is nearly finished. I've got to do some touch-up on the darkest areas on the right side, since I overbrushed when I made the wall background grey today in an effort to make the yellow wall stand out. Not sure it's successful. I'm considering darkening a couple of other areas, too.

I'm happy with this one. But that warm color on the left is not really there in the painting itself, just light fall-off from the window.
