Grey 6 ..Garden paintings

Still in greys....repainting old, rejected paintings, still thinking about mists and looking at the garden photographs....this was the painting finished this morning.....it has taken a long time, but I have enjoyed the process of looking at different greys and looking at opaque white balanced with transparent, mixing white and varnish. Massive potential...

The finished painting could have a little too much going on, maybe too undefined....but those things could be pluses too.....what do I like...the colours, the shapes which seem to suggest whatever you want and the dark smudges of the pencil crayon.....could I do a series of garden paintings....potentially

Too early to say anything about this

This one is an old favourite , retouched to enhance the lights and darks....

I am wanting to take time out from painting over Christmas to reflect and plan for next year....as an artist I am quick to go into , ' paint mode, ' but slow to do all the planning/ marketing/selling....
