How often do you get to say that … perfect day? Started the large commission, Azalea Allee today. The client approved the second sketch (not posted) with the drive centered in the middle of the canvas foreground. Predictable… I know. But not boring in this case thanks to the riotous branch architecture. And the heart in the sky. This was just the first day …. but LOVE the energetic movement. If the underpainting doesn’t feel alive, the finished picture won’t. That’s why i get to say “perfect day”!
