I'm not sure if I should yet call it finished or not. Perfectionist that I am, I struggle quite a bit with actually deciding something is finished. So, here I am asking for some feedback. If anyone looks at this and thinks something doesn't look quite right, I am open to suggestions. Since this is probably only about the fourth painting I've taken this far, my inexperience is a great liability.Gene just financed the purchase of a real easel for me. Previously, I had been working on a card table that was barely larger than the canvas itself and the whole affair was generally inconvenient. Now, I can paint like a "professional". I took for granted how much difference working on an easel would make. I'm not sure what I'll do after I'm satisfied with my Tuscan villa. Gene wants me to do a still life a a wine glass with some red wine and grapes to keep with the Italian theme, part of me wants to try another beach scene. We'll see...
