Migration.....

Yesterday I set up my easel for the 3rd and final panel of Migration.  I Made a few marks on the other two panels, then set those up outdoors in natural daylight...perhaps north light quality, hoping for a decent image.

My first response, I don't think I like it!! Oops! However, I think it's more about working with the same colour for more than 20 days! A long time for someone like me who won't typically work on a painting more than seven days and thinks anything beyond that suffers overcooking. Each of these panels took about 10 days... pushing my limits. Easy to take a break and do an unrelated painting but it leaves an unfinished project in the air and stands a serious chance of me never returning to it. With time and another painting, my thought process will change.....this will become history or a lot of repaint because of new thinking........I no longer have a bailout option!  Oddly, I'm not looking for one, because I do want this finished whether I end up liking it or not. The one thing I do know, I can't do the "last 15-minutes" until all my panels are in place. That could be a game changer......a bit of a dance throughout the whole painting..:=)

I'll spare the progressions until I have a 3rd panel and it's time to dance!
