( to understand what that means, refer to last week's post). I have been on the wagon for one week in a row. Here is my finished piece.

Summer Light
(that's the working title I use until my official title giver/wife signs off on it)
24"x30"
oil on canvas
I made a first step, I signed it. (though I do see a few places that bug me. I may sneak into the studio for a few quick fix tonight.)
I enjoyed a lot of the comments last week. Some were closet beginners and some recovering beginners. Mostly I enjoyed the enablers all
The road to recovery is long. I may need to supply the studio with donuts and coffee)... or tea.

great painting. Great blog. Love what you are doing and your self indulged therapy. I do believe it just might work on myself.
haha--I was one of the "enablers"--but I see you got a magnificent result from staying with the painting..! It's beautiful--a true classic!
I guess, when I think back on your prior post, I was looking at things from my perspective instead of yours. (I rarely revisit a painting--they're all done to me in one session). Seeing your end painting...I'm glad you stayed with it!
I saw a previous version of this and thought it was finished then!
That being said, I so relate to this ..."affliction" I feel like I need to find a meeting.
You captured the water perfectly. You've got water lilies in there and I can relate to that! Keep in mind, the painting is finished when you start messing it up.
Hello Peter! I've been reading your blog for a while now and I have to say I really like your art. I like how you capture light in a subtle way. I also enjoyed reading your plein air experiences.
I also paint. I do have a BA in studio art, but compare to you I am such a beginner. I am just beginning to have my show at alternative spaces so I've now started a blog too. Anyways, just want to introduce myself and tell you how much I've appreciated your blog.
