I’ve added a figure in the right foreground area of the painting. Hopefully this will help the composition as this was an empty area before.
I only finish about 50% of the paintings I start. I like to set high standards for my paintings and any that don’t make the grade get painted over. So I try to start as many paintings as I can. Here’s another one, the third new painting this week. This time its a beach [...]
