Back to Plans

I'm planning paintings again but making slow progress. I've spent a few days drawing out some figures for my Wales painting, but my desire to get it done means that I started drawing before I was totally happy with the composition. Now I've got some choices to make. After trying a few different things I'm erring towards the original idea sketch. I'm unusually doubtful about the painting and my abilities and the throat/ear infection I've been diagnosed with has made me more tired than usual.

Before I go, I must mention In The Real Art World, a blog of contemporary art exhibitions that typically features highly crafted paintings focused around realism, allegorical realism and surrealism.
