Another painting and frame, though this is not completely done, as the frame is a tad too bright; I need to tone it down, and make it more matte. Egg tempera on panel, with a basswood frame, carved and aluminum leaf gilt.
Painting based on an older watercolor. I'm very pleased with this version.This is darker, more brooding, with much removed; a minimalist version. Edward Hopper called this "cannibalizing".
I think of it as just part of the process, especially if I feel the earlier version could be improved upon.
If you've come here from my main site, you'll notice the frame is quite different. Other versions. Here. And again,
