A couple of months ago i posted photo of a painting based on a rainbow i saw in New Zealand. while i was pretty satisfied with most of the painting, i was not happy with how the rainbow turned out. I let the painting sit for a while and then this week got back to it. My thought was that i would proceed by obliterating the rainbow and then repainting it, hopefully more successfully than i’d done the first time around. What happened, though, was that after putting on a thin layer of grayish paint which “pushed” the rainbow back i liked the effect. So i left it in place; then re-worked some of the cliffs, clouds and sky, and am now calling it “done” once again. in the images below, the top one is the revised painting; the bottom is the one i posted in May.
