Working on the People

I got a little bit more done recently. More work still to go. I like the woman with the two kids, but the seated woman in front of them needs to have her sunglasses toned down. The ground needs some work too.



My first reaction at the end of the last painting session was not good. I did not like the way the people looked. They all seemed too intense, too different in style from the beautiful trees. My tendency is to have one of two reactions at the end of a painting session: either excited & pleased, or dismayed & annoyed. However, after several days, I eventually can see what really is good and how to improve the parts that aren't as good.
