Between The Horse and the Stilllife

You can still see a bit of the horse painting in the corner of this one.

I finished that corner and tried to add a bit more texture and interest but hated that too.

The dark blue was clearly a mistake so I went a bit wild on the canvas after that.

I was really lost when I got to this point so I started going over bits of it in solid colors so I could see what sort of texture I'd built up underneath.

This lead in a surprising new direction as you will see in my next post.
