With a giclee of Southside Lily Pond – the first one. Painting this for Joan and Scott Brown – and they were going to have giclees of these two side by side. I needed to make sure the paintings would be friends. On the table in my studio. On the deck at the cabin we rented in Tahoma, Tahoe. Something happens when I look at the painting I’m working on through the review of the digital photo. It gets distilled somehow. And what’s not right jumps RIGHT out. Had to soften the dark above his eyes.
