"The Cove" 9x12 oil on canvas with palette knife


I started to have a difficult time leaving this painting alone. I started removing rocks and houses. Then I pulled plants and trees. Soon it wasn't anything like the picture. I just let it go.
I notice how I still want to repeat shapes. I am doing better on trees.
1) Analyze the picture before painting.
2) Make it your own.
3) Leave it alone overnight and DO NOT TOUCH IT.
Today I am folding my son's laundry. He is going to work and always manages to leave me with the laundry because he has to go to work. Smart kid.
