This morning’s painting session was my 15th on The News. I finished the painting and took a short break, celebrating with a cup of coffee. Returning to the studio, I immediately realized the last thing I painted was too strong and needed healing. I worked another 45 minutes and set the brush down and went upstairs for a cup of tea. This time on returning to the studio my eye was satisfied and I signed the painting.
Completed this morning, ‘The News’
I’ve been known to finish a painting only to take it up again later. But this painting went smoothly from first to last, and the finishing sessions were not difficult or stressful.
