These are two paintings I have been working on for 6 months. They are both 5×7 feet. At first they looked a lot like the painting in the previous post but now they are much further along in their development. Starting a painting is usually the most exciting part of the process for me. It is fast paced and constantly changing as the design is worked out. At the stage these pictures are at the painting really slows down. It is still enjoyable but very different. The paintings seem close to being finished but I have a feeling I will continue to work on them for 6 or 8 more months.
