A compilation of two photographs. One was sent to us from a friend who lived in Colorado and another in the Boys Town area in Omaha, Nebraska.
Albeit a little chalky, it is a time of learning and application of things learned. I see things that are relevant to other paintings and opportunities to paint with other artists. There are things I would do differently now, but imperfectionism has gifts to give us.
A timeline to be creative is a problem for me. That happened in this painting. Because I was painting so infrequently at this time, I had to relearn every time I picked up a brush. That and controlling yellow were my battlegrounds.
