After a wonderful trip to see my daughter and her family, I'm back to my painting. As I prepared to get back to work so many other project tempted me, but I vowed to continue on this one until I finished it. So here's what it looks like after painting today.
The first thing I did was bring the pine tree closer by eliminating the strip of snow between the pine tree and the weeds to the right of the foxes, and I think this was a plus. The bright spot in the weeds far to the right was an accident, but I like it. It seems to be where the light would be hitting beyond the fox's shadow.
Then I began working on the left fox. The lost edge on her chest was a challenge for me, but I think it was important to leave it and not try to define it more. There are still refinements to be made, such as better defining the left side of the chin and face. But I got it to the point where I could begin on the other fox and I'm still in the process of getting that first phase on him done.
It felt good to get a brush back in my hand, and so far so good.
