Underpainting The Death of Man today, and good work. I decided to liquify the colours a little more than usual and add a drop of clove oil in an attempt to stop the blacks from drying overnight. With luck I will finish tomorrow. I'm very happy that I'm unhappy with the Wales picture. It's imperfections have galvanised my resolve and make me reconcentrate my efforts towards superior painting. I feel that I'm back on track. Soon, some big changes are coming for me and I can see the destineic ray to hand. Painting the destineic ray is inevitable also! But that can wait. I have far enough to paint, and like a monk will carefully and with due contemplation paint each thing in turn.
Enough rambling! I've answered my own question from days earlier; I must remain committed to the attainment of quality before I think about quantity.
In exhibition news I've got two pictures exhibiting at Marbury over the weekend, and two more at Dagfields Craft Centre.
