There are more darks off screen (in the cropped out portion) and yet it still feels like it lacks contrast. Like if I turned it all B&W it would be totally flat. Ah well. I'm giving it a rest for now and started a preliminary drawing of a Friesian. Hopefully will get something postable by this weekend. My next mag deadline is looming in a few weeks so need to do something horse. :) It’s a weird painting.

I think your background marks are very interesting, I have been staring at it trying to figure out why it isn't working yet. Seems to me that it might work better if there were more darks, like the dark red/burgundy in amongst the red/yellow you have already a little and more dark blues in amoung the greens. Just my opinion at this point. Sorry about your day, hope it went better later. I like little stretches of solitude, too, to get started especially, also -- very hard to maintain. People see my time as open now much more than when I was working fulltime traditional job and are more offended when I say no now, though I need to start saying it more to keep my art time.

I feel a little bad since we didn't get to talk much. I get easily distracted when dealing with more than one person. I hope you had a pleasant stay in Rolfe. After you left I did turn it on it's side again to take another look. You know people are always telling me I need to do more rabbits. :) Hey Clara,

I do like the colors in this--the reds in the background. And as I showed you, if you turn this 90 degrees and add just a little nose, you'd have a rabbit. Of course, you'd want to change colors. But you might try it. So….Mike is a distraction! I do like the colors in this–the reds in the background.
