I have reworked the 3rd Derrynane painting from my post of October 6th , well at least the green area in the foreground.
I have cooled the greens down considerably as you will see. This has helped the foreground sit more solidly and given a stronger base to the work. This particular painting has been niggling at me for a number of weeks so I eventually gave in and did the rework last week, and added detailing on the grass today over the dry base colours. It just goes to show, it can take more time examining a work than actually painting it to get to where we want it to eventually go. Or maybe I'm just slower getting there than most artists are. Apart from this I have been working on a smaller piece, a view from Glendalough. Sadly I am not at all happy with the results, it is cold and dull. Just like the weather.
Later this evening I have to deliver a few paintings to Clontarf for an annual exhibition I take part in, so this post will be a little shorter than I intended, but if I don't post today it could be another week before I do at all. Until then keep warm, and dream of summer seashores.
