Clouds are meant to be fleeting, not confusing


It's not finished yet, though the more difficult parts are almost done.  That large space to the right is confusing to work on because there is no obvious reference to know where I'm laying my brush.  There's no tree, crest, line or obvious visual reference.  Another thing gnawing at my attention would be all that mental note I have on what to adjust, what to add, what to remove, that are strewn all across the frame.  I've fought the temptation to use Post-It to keep tabs of them all!  Other than those mentioned, it should be smooth sailing with this piece from here on end.

Though it is not the largest canvas I've worked on, it is the widest.  This canvas has given me more confidence to tackle more complex works, I'm happy to say.  I believe I've broken that paralyzing apprehension I've been getting whenever I look at the unfinished Kubol piece.  We'll get there, soon enough. 


This will look good in the master's bedroom.  I've made the painting to fit  the dimension of the wall facing the bed.  When I wake up, this will be the first thing that will greet me.  All I need now is a low and shallow book shelf, a small sound system, and some trinkets and bookends to complement that space under this painting.

After this - maybe a week or two more, I'll begin the last half of the roof scape painting I've put on hold a few weeks back.  I need references to keep on going with that piece.
