Shady Garden Revisited


As you could probably tell from my last post, I was not thrilled with my last painting.  The image was in my head while doing errands, in my sleep, etc.  There were a lot of things I liked about it, but, there was something that was bothering me.  So I just redid it today.  I was very happy with my pencil drawing.  I focused even more on drawing only the shapes of light and dark and connecting these shapes.  What made the biggest difference, I limited my color palette.  I am much happier with this color palette for this painting.

Thank you to everyone for your comments on the last post.  I truly appreciate your emails and your time.  Have a great weekend!

  1. Liana, This one seems to have more sunshine in it. Good job. Its very difficult to pick up a painting and redo it. And its great to see that you did it. It speaks a lot about your passion. And I can totally understand when you are not able to sleep over a painting. It happens with me too. :)

  2. Liana, I found even the last post to be good. Any way you always paint for your own satisfaction and happiness. Great work.

  3. I had to look back as I've been out of touch for a few days. Bothe are good paintings to me, but i agree, the revisited version holds my interest more.

  4. Oops! I missed the last one! I agree with you, I like both but this one is fresher somehow. I love the shadows on the wall :0)
