Better in Black and White

Sometimes paintings look better in black and white, this is for sure one of those cases.

I’m going to take a second shot at this one when it dries.

I thought I’d share a bit of my Critterscape process. Nothing groundbreaking, I sketch with paint and then paint. I once heard someone say that they make a lot of lines when they sketch, because one of them will be right. That’s my approach.

Through your eyes Jill. You interpret the latter as better, as do I. But there will be someone who appreciates the former as well. For just a second observe the simplicity of the picture in its early stage.
