I picked up some leaves outside, and painted over them. This was the result. I did a series of these. They look like fabric patterns. I'm debating whether to leave this painting as is, or to add some kind of gold or silver metallic highlights.
What do you do when you hit the point in a painting when you're not sure whether you're finished or not? I tend to ask myself, Do I keep working on a painting and risk "guilding the lily," or going overboard? Or, do I stop, and leave something bare simple? Will it be better or worse? Digital manipulation is great for developing alternative scenarios; maybe I'll find time one day to use my Adobe software to try this.
