At this point it's difficult to see much happening in these little screen images. In the white canopy picture, I put in the vegetables and otherwise worked on details, adjusted some colors and cleaned up edges. Eventually I went back to the truck painting and adjusted some of the colors in the umbrella.

All the basic structure is established in the first 2 hours or less of any painting. After that, it's all adjusting for all kinds of reasons ... making forms, line and color work together, accuracy of drawing, putting in details and taking them out, etc. It's fussy, but I want the whole painting to work on many levels .. if you look at it up close or far away, in a brief glimpse or with extended inspection. I think about and work on every tiny bit of the surface of the painting to make it all work together. It takes time.

At the end of this day, I took out a little farm painting I'd done earlier. I couldn't think of anything useful to do to it, so that was that.
