This is a blog about painting: specifically, representational fine art, generally, using oil paint. I think a lot about what I'm doing, and those thoughts about subject matter, technique, influences, frustrations and delights all show up here. It's all about the journey.

Nailing Down The Shadows
I've been pretty happy with the shadows on the left and center of this piece, but the ones in the upper right-hand corner needed to be finished. So today I took a good, hard look at the reference photo and did my best.
What it needs next is a little contrast on the woman's legs and shoes, to set them apart from the background; the pole and tree on the left; and the lines on the sidewalk.
