I decided not to delineate them, but to leave them there for those who want to pull them out - or see them. I went through various versions on the edge there - and decided that to bring the figures on the edge into too much clarity would pull the eye - and yet I didn't want to obliterate them. So I left the suggestion. I am so happy that you get the mystery of this painting. Thank you for being such a wonderful painting buddy! - JimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11461354288131558726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-318383780179348937.post-81331637663462621712014-09-26T10:35:54.654-07:002014-09-26T10:35:54.654-07:00I think you are right Jim. That little voice that ...I think you are right Jim. That little voice that says, "What if I..." I think it is strong in creatives. Did you mean to have the two figures on the right edge? The dark patch, seems to be one stepping in, the white is his head. and the next to him is a woman leaning back a bit... or Is it just me seeing things again? I love this, the colors and so much activity. I can hear the hushed voices, deep in conversation. Wondering if the lone figures are joining, or retreating... Happy weekend to you Jim!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051980478832038967noreply@blogger.com
