I Paint Better Now, Again

A painting called “Eagle Trail” wasn’t sitting right with me. I look at it each time I set up a show or rehang paintings in the studio, and something was just not good enough.

I don’t know what is bothering me.

So, I just began with the upper-most, furthest away parts. As I was taught in one of the classes that I began but dropped part way through (rap music? really?? Couldn’t take it!), the “glazing” method is just repainting, over and over and over.

Here it is after another session on the easel:

It is a little glossy because it is wet. I’ll keep layering and layering, studying, thinking, trying to paint it more carefully and accurately. When it is dry, it should photograph better. I hope it looks better!
