Elementary art teacher wife advises husband artist: "You are looking too much. You're trying to figure it out. You need to do the work, do the work, do the work, do the work, do the work."

She's right. Stop looking, set it up and do the work.

 no title, 16 x 20 inch cradled panel, varnished, Feb.18, 2016

3:00 end    3:45 home 72 degrees   varnished piece

I kept at it even though the light was changing. The piece has too much information. Lots of detail was processed. The end result got dark in the mid-range. I'm trying to guess ahead.

The good news is that I did work today. And will probably get a handle on it if I keep at it.
