Still not a great title for this painting, but at least it’s one way to identify the work.  So in the past week I’ve worked on several parts of this painting.  The sky has been done and redone several more times.  Still needs more work, but i think it’s on the way to being ok.  I repainted several of the houses and also added a couple for some balance.  I painted in both boats.  they (boats) have also undergone a couple of transformations — from black to a slightly lighter black-tinged with burnt sienna.  When the bottom boat was all black it was too prominent in the picture.In class last week teacher wanted me to work on getting the edges of the houses softer.  I’m not there yet, because when i tried what he suggested i lost the edges entirely, and i didn’t like that effect.  So, repainted the roofs, and still need figure out how to do the rest of it all.
