Rose Arbor II 9 x 12 Oil Painting by Pat Fiorello $400 Buy with PayPal |
Rather than keep working on one painting refining it over and over and potentially working it to death, I'd rather capture a scene or idea in an alla prima fashion, and leave it fresh, declare it complete and then start another version from scratch to learn from that one too. No two will every be exactly alike so I relate to it as if each painting has a life of its own.
Here is another version done in completely different way ( started with dark toned canvas and pulled out the lights) as well as small study done with my more typical approach of transparent underpainting, then opaques on top.

I have fond memories of this scene so will probably revisit it again in the future, but for now moving on to some new inspiration and challenges.
Do you have a favorite of the 3?
