It's difficult to know when to stop painting. You can keep on going until you obtain
photorealism. This was not my
intent. This is my attempt to produce an
Impressionist painting. Although I used
mediums that were not available during that period, I now have more appreciation
for Van Gog and his thick application of paint on canvas. The idea is to capture the mood of the
subject and not necessarily the likeness of the subject itself. At least, that is what I have learned in this
exercise. This week I touched up some
details and color/tones, I applied a final varnish and decided that there was
no point in adding anything else. The
painting and the "mood" is represented and it is complete as is.
Please let me know what you think.
