Bridge to the Other Side18 x 24" Oil
I posted this painting when I first started my blog over a year ago, declared it unfinished, and said I would get back to it one day. It is an oil palette knife painting on canvas.
After looking at it again after much time, I have decided "it is finished"! ... and I didn't add another drop of paint.
Funny how that happens. I can work on a painting, like how it looks, think it is done and come back months later and realize I don't like it at all.... yet then this happens. I agonize and agonize over it, put it aside, and realize later it is exactly as I want it.
In this painting, the trees are ghostlike, without form. The only thing really alive is the flowing brook and the evergreens. There is a glimpse of light in the distance and a bridge to get to the other side.
