"I think I can... I think I can..."
24"h x 20"w
oil on stretched canvas
It's time to quit. I think? A bit more drying and it's ready for the frame. This painting, like the family portrait I'm working on, have both challenged my ability. They are both finished as far as I can go but I dream of becoming better at the craft of painting. I've learned a lot during the last couple of weeks and for that I'm grateful but there's so much to learn and so little time.
The comments made during this project have given me lots of wonderful ideas for a name, but I haven't quite nailed it. I'll let you know what I come up with.
ps.(days later) instead of reposting this picture again I just added the new name. What do you think?
Looks great.
