cloudy day phase 2 - 16" square


I managed to get outside to paint the other day and, despite the poor quality of what I did, felt really energized by it and happy to get back to the studio again. So, I've continued working on the several things I've been posting for the last few weeks. I am trying to retain the gesture of the figure while painting the stripes (quite difficult) and portraying the sense of solidity and saturation of color that are present in this type of light. I decided to add a grouping on the left side to assist with the composition..............it's been so cold in the studio that the paint is drying quite slowly which is good.
