Years in the making

This painting by George Inness, (Scene at Durham, an Idyll, 1882–85, Oil on canvas on composite board) took the artist 3 years to complete. Next time you feel like "finishing" a piece remember artists before used to spend a considerable amount of time making them look the way they do...

This post came at the perfect time! Been arm wrestling a few larger paintings and feeling like I ‘need’ to get them Finished but I’m equally enjoying the process of inventing - pushing and pulling, pivoting when need be, in service to the composition and in service to moving outside my own ‘default’ painting mode. Apologies…bit of a morning ramble. 😂 just stoked 🙏🏻
