Showery Morning - Definitely Finished!

I wasn't entirely happy with the foreground tracks inthe field when I looked at it this morning. So I replaced some of the reds in the shadow patches in the foreground with a more neutral and darker grey-green - strong complimentary contrasts nearly always look wrong when they are in the foreground of a painting. Also I felt that the tree and hedge needed a little more red, so I added some permanent rose to that area. I think it looks better as a result. Regardless, it's finished now - time to move on.

Michael,

I appreciate your firmness of conviction in the 'definitely finished' portion of your post title! Too many times I have wavered, and then regreted over that very point! It's a lovely painting that you've completed!
