Detail of Reflections (Oil Bar Painting FInished Aug. 25, 2013), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

Here is a detail from the oil bar painting as it looked when I finished in back on August 25th. Once I had modified the composition by painting out the tree on the left-hand side, I needed to change the shapes created by these grasses to make the composition work. Of course I can find things in this painting that I could change. That is always true, but this painting was especially hard for me. (I was painting above my pay grade.) But I am calling it. I am at peace when I look at this painting, and so it is finished. Time to get ready for something new.
