'Fantasia'
Acrylic on 16" x 20" x 3/4" canvas
Completed Fantasia
Just having a lot of fun as I got totally absorbed with color. I've been told that my work involves a complexity of layers. I really can not explain how it is that I do it, other than I usually stick with a painting until I reach that point that I feel there is completion. Larger paintings can be exhausting. Sometimes I may stop too soon and then there are times where perhaps it's been over done. I am never satisfied with either one of those. I posted this second painting so you could see where I had stopped, thinking I was done. As I was giving a lesson, (sorry, Dina) my eyes kept going back to it....searching, searching. Just needed a little something, but what? After having taken a photograph of it, I was able to see the change I wanted to make. So back into it I went!

Elizabeth, Love your paintings!
For me, seeing the painting scanned/photographed helps me see it more objectively, like someone else did it. Then I see what needs work!
Thanks for showing both versions! This is a lovely finish!
Thanks for elaborating...that's exactly right.
