Julie - Thanks! I push hard for the illusion of mass. I painted this under incandescent lights and the photo of it is under the same lighting. Under daylight conditions it doesn't appear as warm. I wish I know how I could paint something in warm light and retain that warmth for other lighting conditions.
Garth - Yeah, the repainting habit bothers me quite a bit. I have reckless tendencies, wanting to paint fast, wet, sloppy and all over the canvas. What it means is I can spend all sorts of time fussing with something only to lose it all in the next session. On the other hand I want to believe that this process is doing something good for my development. For a future one, I think I ought to experiment with a more careful approach.
