On our second trip to the lake last Friday, the three of us positioned ourselves further apart. One of my friends made such an interesting subject with her new umbrella that I wanted to paint her. At six p.m. the boats started sailing and I added some as an afterthought, with a stroke or two.
As you can see, the first painting that I took home was the alla prima version, but I thought I had a little too much white space at the bottom -- and the boats looked like they were sailing in air!
I put in a couple of hours balancing the painting's values, colors and trying to keep it in its original all-at-once looseness at home .. that's the second photo you see, which I entered in a show yesterday.
