Today, I finished (maybe) my studio painting of late afternoon on the Crooked River. I actually toned down the cliffs...they were not in complete shadow, nor were they in sunlight. It is difficult to get this mid value and still have an interesting painting.

I also met with my painting critique group---several very talented artists (I am going to include their blogs on my site)...and got great tips for 4 of my small shed/abandoned house paintings. Just smallthings, but really important corrections. So I will work on these tomorrow. Which raises the question...How can one be a daily painter, and still correct paintings daily???
