Back on line with a new cable. this is a larger one done plein air with a knife in charleston. everywhere you turn there it looks like this. beautiful turn of the century houses and palms nestled up on them. the scene included a reddish cobblestone street and narrow sidewalk but i went for the cropped composition. saw something the other day i'm trying hard to live by. it said something like..."when you're painting-- write the most important sentence, dont write a novel." so i left out all kinds of other stuff that i usually try to cram in the painting. camille predzwodick says she used to paint enough stuff (in one of her older paintings) to paint five paintings. i can sypathize with you camille. hopefully i'll quit doing it too.
