* Sunday Afternoon Revisited ...

This painting has really taken me for a ride.  It got so difficult and became so 'precious' I could no longer work on it.  Once I begin to 'like' a painting too much, think some of the areas are 'well done' so therefore avoid going near them, adore some of the brushstrokes or the colours,  I am sunk.  It simply doesn't work anymore.  I have to be able to work on the entire painting.  So I put it away.  I have just taken it out again.  With the attitude "I have nothing to loose", I have re blocked it in.  I like it better already, however time will tell.  The first coat of oil will have to dry before I can touch it again.  If I can stay detached, it will may be somewhat decent. 

Also, painting intuitively is different.  I have no models.  Nothing to look at.  It's all in my head.  Most of my intuitive paintings have a little of the 'unreal' in them .. this one is all the reality of the human body.    Here is the first round.


In the meantime, while I'm waiting for this to dry, I may begin the winged heart.  We will see.

Hope you are all well and happy today.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  You are all gifts to me.

I am soooooo pleased that you are working on the picture again, if it turns out half as good as the last one it will be great! Wish you the right intuition to finish it! Have a lovely day and take care of yourself, Hugs, Valerie

I like the start of this donna, very much. Still amazed at the way you can paint figures, people. (i could not do anything like that!)
I think you know what you are doing! You have good plans for how to approach this, what feels right to you. It looks good too, very intimate. I look forward to seeing where it takes you. ; )))))) lenna
