“I suppose what you’re doing as a painter is making a record of your trip through life.
I can’t think of any job that is quite as satisfactory as doing a painting.”
(Robert Genn (1936- 2014))
The quote above rings true for me… it is true that this blog records part of my life in a way. After preparing for my Book Club for tomorrow night, I now have the leisure of time on my hands… and what do I do with it? Going through some of my older paintings and see what comes up. By the way, her class is spectacular. As a teacher, she invests herself totally in it and she expects you to be totally invested too. An awesome combo.
I had not looked at this painting for over a year as this was done in a class given by Uma Kelkar. Quite interesting to revisit after this time. I really had a lot of fun doing this as it was difficult and challenging. The aim was to look at the reflections (incident light coming from the sun), cast shadows, diffused shadows and shadows and make them believable. I changed some of the blue colours along the way too.
Painting to see : Peindre pour voir 
I remember seeing this when you did it, Jane. I am still impressed by the amount of thought that went (goes) into your painting. I tend to be more quick and slapdash, which is fun, but maybe there’s a time to slow down and consider as well. Lovely.

Oh! I couldn’t remember that I had posted it — hah-hah! I think that both of our ways is good, fast and slow… and I should sometimes think less and paint more. Thank you -)
