I could have kept going with this painting from
my plein air session at Arlington Court on Friday.
(here's a photo I took at the time) |
When is a painting finished?
Overworking a painting is fatal,
not going that extra nano-inch is fail.
Well, in the end you have to stand back and make an
objection decision.
ask yourself:
"Does this painting work?"
"Does it convey the feeling of the day?"
"Does it tell a story?"
and the answer for me with this painting is
YES
so here's the completed painting whilst drying on my easel in the studio
Titled: "Looking Across the Ha-ha"

It is so beautiful Ann!
Aww...thank you Christine. I enjoyed sitting out and starting this painting at Arlington, plus I was lucky that it was such a gorgeous day.
"Looking Across the Ha-Ha"? Explain please...... :D Christine is correct, it's beautiful!
Really lovely Ann!
I love it, absolutely a masterpiece! Just watching Escape to the Country with a feature of Arlington Court!
Thanks Robin :) The "Ha-ha" is probably better explained by wikipedia....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ha-ha
🙂
Awww thanks Eileen
Thanks Judy, glad you like it. I think the Escape to the Country is the one with the carriage horses? They don't have them anymore, "Health & Safety" and all that kind of thing sadly...I miss them and miss helping with them, but at least I have my painting to do over there :)
