I was digging through the paintings on my paint shelves and ran across a couple of paintings that I made last year. Essentially, they were finished but I wasn’t really all that fond of the results. So… I decided to rework them.

This is the first painting. I sort of like it but it strikes me as overly simple and I’m not really fond of the horizontal forms. I think that they throw off the flow of the whole thing.

This second image is after a couple of hours (Two sessions, actually.) with Sennelier’s Alizarin Crimson and Titanium White as well as Miameri’s Yellow Ochre and some Phthalocyanine Blue that I had left on my pallet. I’m not sure that this will stay this way. The composition is a little wonky. I still need to spend some time sanding out the lines from the previous version of this as well. That will change things a bit. I do think this works a bit better. I like it a lot more anyway. We’ll see how it goes…
