dwell, 17x80” at the VERY end of my painting day today!
i made a last minute decision, before returning to the house, and broke up the countertop with rectangles, indicating a tiled surface. i think it improved, but i may need to do more tomorrow morning.

3:48 PM: follwoing our trail walk this morning, i resumed work on dwell, 17x80”. i added the walking figure in the upper right,as well as a table & chairs, all viewed from above. i don’t have a lot more to do tomorrow, but there will definitely be some tweaks. i think the daisies on the left need to pop more, and it needs an accent of color, possibly on the figure at the lower left.
i’ve made paintings roughly this dimension, but i don’t think i’ve made a horizontal one. it’s tricky to have that expanse of white countertop, and i may have to break it up somehow; maybe by putting in imagined tiles.
