A River Runs Through It, Oil on Canvas, 10"x20"
I decided a few weeks ago to incrementally work on a "bigger" canvas, while simultaneously continuing my daily painting in smaller scale; and 10x20 is huge to me right now! This painting, of the waterfront park in Louisville, was painted from a photo taken on a cold, bare day. I do believe I bestowed much more color and life onto the scene than existed on this particular New Year's Day. It was much more difficult to paint this scale again than I expected. I became overly conscientious of scale and I tightened back up with the brush, painting very slowly and in layers. This just tells me to keep working both big and little, as there is value as a painter in both. And...despite not feeling completely satisfied with it, I decided to post it.
