For the first time during this challenge, I painted what one of my favorite artist friends calls a "FP". That's short for Failed Painting. Definitely not one I would want to show in public.
So... at about lunch time today, I knew I needed to start all over with another painting. And it was going to be late in the day before I could do that. No worries. (I think this Challenge has given me more courage! <grin>)
After supper this evening, I started back at it. And I'm so pleased with the result. Not the same subject I started with this morning, this is from a photo I've had in my pile of reference photos for a long time. It has always appealed to me. I like the story it seems to tell. It looks like this little guy is listening intently to someone not there. Or maybe waiting for a bus. And until this evening, I never thought I could actually pull it off. But... I think I did. I'm really pleased with this one.
This was painted on a 5" x 7" Raymar art panel with Winsor Newton water mixable oils.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I can't believe there are only 4 more paintings to go in the Challenge! (and I sure hope I don't run into anymore FPs!)
