11x14, oil on canvas panel
I grew up in a smaller town, probably around 30,000 at the time, but my hometown looks like the Big City compared to this little town, Yes, that's it! I don't remember any more buildings.
I have grown accustomed to painting mostly small canvases, so even 11x14 is bigger for me. I think I missed the mark on this and may do another one. I am happy
with some of the passages in this painting, but the overall look is not quite
what I wanted. Also, I believe the drawing is a little off.
Painting is a learning experience. Rarely does an artist do as well as he wants to do. One reason is that our critiquing skills are always ahead of our painting skills. I think
of each painting I do as an exercise and a practice session. That keeps it worthwhile
for me, so rather than feel dejected, I know that every time I paint I improve a little!

Hi Connie, This is a sweet painting. I know what you mean, painting is HARD. I love it so and I like you think we grow with the struggles. I painted two yesterday, the first one was a joy to paint the second one I wiped off. I guess if it was easy it might not interest us so much.
Thank you, Barbara. Your last sentence is SO TRUE!
Your paintings are georgeous. Love them all.
