Then He Was Gone

This painting has an interesting, and somewhat sad, story. It was my second painting after my long hiatus. I was still struggling with when to be finished with a painting. I still do struggle. It can come with a lot of insecurity. Much like this website, I want to tweak at things I work on endlessly. Anyway. I should have stopped at this point in the painting. I did not. I kept going, and then ultimately realized it was too late to go back. Thank goodness I took some pictures at this point in the process because it captured it at it’s best! But, then he was gone! I’m lucky enough to be able to make it available at least in print. It is a favorite to many. You can find it in the shop.
