My first 16x24 painting is finished. It's a potted plant sitting on the grass under a light on the side of a house at night, with a moth flying over it. I shall upload a scan of it as soon as possible. Before this one was completely finished, however, another painting popped into my imagination and I got right to work. It's another night scene, in a parking lot that's empty except for one lonely woman unlocking her car. I worked too quickly and messed it up; the perspective is wrong, and some places are lit too brightly. I'll have to make some big changes now. And it's raining outside, but I have to take some books back to the library.
