I've been looking at my recent attempt at the pavilion, the one with the huge hair-do, the one I conceded to be difficult to amend.
I can't surrender that easily. Surely there's something I can do.
Why don't I just plant a tree? Use the foliage to hide the pompadour! ( I used to think it was Pinocchio's nose !)
With the innocence of a child, and the eagerness of going out on a first date, I proceeded to plant my tree.
The ink being so intense, I had to mix in some titanium white to the Green Label Three to add some opacity to the foliage.
I also painted in the tiles on the breezeway and the rest of the shrubs on the ground. This was done to shield the prominence of the new tree that I planted. I was actually adding something to the painting to try to take away other things.
I also mentioned that I didn't like the way the rocks by the water edge looked. I painted a thin ribbon along the water's edge and that seemed to account for the boundary without the original harshness.
I adhered to leaving the body of the pond as an empty space.
I'll sit on this one for a while, like I usually do.
