The Decider, Part II

Note: This isn’t deja vu. Just keep reading and you’ll see I’m really not repeating myself.

Stage One

Stage Two

Stage Three - Final

“Molten” - Acrylic on Cradled Masonite, 8 x 8 x 2″

This is the final stage of “Molten.” I wanted to show all of the major stages to give an idea of the many decisions that sometimes are made to bring a painting to a resolution. Any one of the steps along the way (including some of the intermediate steps not shown here) might have been perfectly acceptable, but I sometimes just feel like pushing on. You might also notice that this one acquired an obvious orientation because of the landscape feel of the composition.

This morning I was on a roll, and have completed two more that went rather quickly, but those will have to keep for another day. After all, I have to have something to blog about!
