the dinner party, 38x40” after lightening the exhaust pipe over the wood stove.
3:30 PM: as i was posting half hour ago, i realized that the chimney above the stove was way too black. since the paint was still wet, it just took a few minutes to rub into it with a paper towel and lighten it. i think it’s much better now.
the dinner party, 38x40” as it looked at the end of my painting day today
2:43 PM: today i pretty much painted on the dinner party all day, till half an hour ago. we didn’t do our trail walk (we do it every other day) so i had a good chunk of time & covered lots of ground. you’ll see in the comparative views BELOW just how much has changed. there’s now a fire burning in the wood burning stove, for example. whaqt used to be 3/4 of a dog lying down, over on the left, is gone. the floor tiles have been reworked. stripes have appeared on the clothing of the seated figure middle left. wine glasses have appeared on the table….and a lot more. if you make the images full page & scroll back & forth, you’ll be bale to spot the changes.
