This stage is exciting because of the potential of great things.

This is the stage where I wonder if I've ruined it. (After many years of painting, you get used to ignoring the feelings during this part.)

I've scrubbed off the highlights and started to add darks (on the right side)


A painting is full of decisions: how deep to make the darks, how much dark to include (the photo's background is a lot of black) , how to define some areas with detail and leave some without, etc. This may be finished, or I may find more to tweek. (Purple Poppies 7" x 10")
