delivered


I finally turned it over and said goodbye. Dalia was even a little teary eyed. Awe

We'll I hate to say it but it took me a long time to get back to this. I was afraid to touch it, because it was looking pretty good and I thoughgt I might fuck it up. Every time I tried to adjust somethign it felt like it was getting worse and worse. Last week we got together at Jeremy's for our FNPC and was determined to finish it...




I added some more detail to Dalias hair and flowers, I also too some of the dark blue out of the dress. It was tempting to try and change the background color because the green is so bold and overpowering but it grew on me and although its abrasive when you 1st look at it I think it will work for something you look at everyday. It won't get boring and it really helps the people pop. I could keep working on this thing forever. Paintings rarely feel finished when you are working on them because you can always do more... but more isn't always better. It feels solid so I'm happily moving on to the next piece.
