Well, whee.

I do believe I've finished the triptych. The last third was being rather a pain, but I think I've managed, with some compositional surgery, to make it look much less like an amateurish stab at painting and into something I might deem worthy. Gad, that sounds arrogant, doesn't it? Sorry. But know that, with only one or two exceptions, I have never been satisfied with my own work. All of it looks like amateurish slop to me.

But I think I'll like the triptych once it's put in sequence. I certainly like that (IMHO) I've managed to make each of the three parts a viable painting in it's own right. They'll be better together, but I think each could stand on its own. I just hope they do go together well...

So, I guess I better prepare a spot on the wall for them, although I think taking photos will wait until the paint has dried a bit more, so I can move them around for the best lighting and such.

Next up, I'm going to start glazing the tree roots. Then my dad. Or more likely vice versa.

But now I have brushes to go wash and a depleted palette to put away yet again.

Congrats on finishing that triptych!

It doesn't sound arrogant. It sounds like the sentiment of someone who is serious about doing her utmost best to produce good art. I feel like that about writing.

I shall look forward to the picspam!
