Evening Walk

the view on our semi regular evening walk. 

I started working on this at the start of the year and have had a wee battle over the last month as it started to take shape. 

That moment where you really like it, but just need to do a little adjustment, only to go to far which results in a little frustration that you then react to by painting over that particular section and starting again....I'm sure many artists are very familiar with this repetitive process...(aren't they?) . Anyway the result is multiple layers that seep through and give a really nice dept to the piece, well that's my technical justification to my "going into war like" approach on this piece. 

It is a common process for me when I paint an actual image that I have photographed or am very familiar with as I need to get the exact feel and look of the scene to feel happy with the final result.

Happy with it now, so brushes down and stepping back!

...oh it's available for sale. x
