My goal of finishing this piece was the end of July so have decided to press on and remove the deadline. I won’t post any more progress reports until the final one and am starting some new ones in my head while I work away –not sure if I want to paint anything ‘green’ for awhile tho’…:)

There’s still some work to be done!

This post is for those who are interested in the stages of a painting (Ivan Shiskin’s here). If you are like most viewers, the end result is the interesting part. Please feel free to come back later when I hope to have finished this copy to an acceptable standard–my standard anyway!  For those who are interested in the stages of a painting or just want to comment about anything related, feel free to comment here or on facebook. Thanks for stopping by.

For those interested in process, here’s where I’m at!

Just watched a documentary on TVO last night.  I’ve included the link for anyone who’d like to see it. It’s up online until Sept. 29th, 2014. 10 Stories by contemporary artists including painters and photographers and writers, who respond to the influence of Vermeer on them today. http://tvo.org/video/162708/views-vermeer What are your ‘ Views of Vermeer’?
