THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

Further to this earlier post, here’s where I’ve got to with the new painting. The underlying pencils are now complete and I can start undercoating, but not before I finish the landscape I’ve been working on for over a year now. I always lack the time to get the work done as quickly as I would like to, and have come to terms with the fact that I can’t work any faster than I do, and have no wish to get all impressionistic so I can plop something out in an afternoon. These paintings take months because they have to and because it’s worth it.
