Too much information in yesterday's version so I moved the boy again, this time right into the blue green area. I like this but - whoops it's not the right size and if I'm going to go with the shadow I want the whole tree shadow. That would make a nice square painting - but I don't have a square canvas so that composition too is for another day.
What is this painting about anyway? Well we have a guy carrying trash and we have a barrel full of trash on a lovely day. This is what life is often about. Shall I zero in and make it just the guy with the trash or include the looming tree and the trash barrel? I adjusted the light and went with the looming tree and the trash barrel. Tomorrow - on to the canvas.

So interesting. Thanks for sharing your process. Each painting evokes a story or mood in me. Someday I hope to have one of your works. I own one of your sister's pastels.
Dear susan,
You must have me mixed up with some other Nancy Herman as I don't have a sister.
Thanks for your comment in any case. I appreciate it.
Nancy
