Friday feelin' fine...

The big painting is now, possibly, in the state it's meant to be.... where another brush stroke may be one too many....

I do not know yet.... whether I dare make the one more mark that I know I ought but which you, dear reader, will never notice....

That, though, is not the point.... I shall know that the mark ought to have been made... and may not rest, easily, until it has been...

Ah well... the studying and the considering and the stressing will keep me occupied...

... and you may not notice the difference between the image below and the one that was posted previously...

... and, in a 30 minute burst of inspiration and from a desire to say something simple... this one just had to be made... to express my love for the woman who has transformed my life...

... my darling Kay... words are not adequate...

Patience dear reader, patience...

The large painting so recently featured here is still drying before can I apply the final highlights. I have, however, been working on these others - some of which haven't been seen for some time, while they dried thoroughly - with dark glazes, in order to emphasis certain areas, and at least two of them are now in the state I have been hoping to reach with them...

This is one of the two... several months in the drying and now nothing more is to be done...

This troubled me for some time... and there may yet be more to do...

... whereas this may simply require one more thin glaze...

Finally.... this is now most definitely in the state I wanted it to reach...

... it is, as it says, dedicated to my beloved...

Kay... thank you for you
