I love the composition and you do such a nice job on getting a good range of values. I noticed you have a new "signature" with your blog info at the bottom of your postings now. Do you add that in photoshop as a way of protecting the image and leading people back to where it comes from? Jana Beautiful!

It will be fun to see what you capture in oil.

The first painting is the excitement of discovery and curiosity about how it will turn out. The second time is the excitement of refining the design and composition and seeing what more I can bring to it. They're both good, just different. The second time is easier in some ways but not in others. If I am changing media (like going from the charcoal sketch to oil) there is still a challenge to reinterpret the material. I am reading the Van Gogh catalog from the NY Met museum of Art exhibit right now and I see that sometimes Vincent's ink sketches preceded his oil paintings, and sometimes the ink drawings came 2nd - they were included in letters to his brother and others to show an example of his latest works (scans and photos not being invented ) So, I am stimulated by the idea of taking one image and reinterpreting it in different media - you learn from every experience.

AND SO RICH!! Do you find it easier to paint the scene again after you've done it once? I do -- but without the excitement of the first time .... just wondering... BEAUTIFUL!! AND SO RICH!!
