- Passing By ~ Original Watercolor 22 x 16″ $800
When I have a painting in progress, I try to keep it in my line of sight. I paint in the studio, then bring it with me while I work around the house. I bond with the painting. Yet I still ‘miss’ things that could be better.
‘Passing By’ is from a photo taken the same morning as the Garden Gate, pictured below. Same snow, different location, and totally different feelings.
So, does this painting look finished? I am still thinking of making the sign on the upper right of the building lighter or darker, but any comments are welcome.
(Passing By is for sale, framed for $800, but I’m going to enter it in the Art of the State competition, so it won’t be available until a later date.)


Looks great Debi! Really like those little touches of red
Debi,
The only thing that I’m noticing is that red in the upper left on the sign has my eye going sraight to it and staying there I’m not sure but making that Shadow on the building deeper darker and richer might help balance it out maybe add some red mixed with a wash of grey/blue to help echo the spot of red in the picture?
Let me know what you went with.
Sincerely
Paul
