Looking at a painting that I consider a work in progress, I hope to find a solution for what started out as a painting with a big barn behind the subjects. The barn was too overpowering, so I replaced it (twice) with different landscapes. Now, the mare and foal need something to balance the composition. What to do? I have to consider what may work and not take away from the subjects. I had a girl looking and leaning on the fence, but painted her out...you can still see her shadow in the grass.
I have a lot of work to do right now, and am taking a time out of doing this blog for a while. I'll be back!
