I spoke too soon, again! Grover's blue universe was bugging me. It was a little too monochromatic. Also, the shadows on his shoulder looked like a net or weird markings, though they were fairly faithful to the photo. So, I worked over the stuffie to help Grover's handsome face stand out better, and toned down his body a bit ... then back up a bit. I also threw in some nearly invisible, but helpful, tones into the background to make the colors more interestingly complex. When I showed it to H, he asked what more I'd done to Grover's face to make it jump out more, but that's the one area I hadn't touched! So, I guess my plan worked. :)
I have an idea for a painting that I think I might slap together today. The weather's too funky to garden, and painting's more fun than housework, so I think I'll do a little experiment. I also have to get my visual aid ready for my workshop next weekend. Who's coming? RSVP asap! :D
