Sold a Second One

Well the Scholls Show ends this weekend and I sold two from it. The second one that sold is the view inside the tile factory where the sun is shining through a hole in the roof on to the brick chimney. I have it posted a few entries back.

Outing at Sauvie Island, Oregon

This was the beginning of the day.







This is stage two.

This is stage three.


I would call it the finished painting but I'm finding it rather bland.
My husband says it's peaceful. It was a cold, wet, windy day and about six or eight artists were huddled in a wildlife viewing shelter. At one point in the day about 40 high schoolers unloaded from a bus to identify birds so we shared the shelter with them for about 15-20- minutes. When it was time for us to quit for the day the sun came out.



I'm looking for comments on this one. Should I put a flock of ducks, a log in the foreground, leave it alone, or paint over it?
