DS #2: Final stages - finished

Last week I got three painting times in.  Here are the final stages of DS #2, which is still looking for a title, but closer to finding one - more about that below.

 


 I added a big blue circle. I was definitely not sure, at this point, if it added anything, but was reserving judgement. I did more work on the howling wolf cub that's sitting in that blue circle; gave the horse a belly line; and I added a string of circles on the left. I really liked those circles! I also felt like I wanted, next, to surround those circles with some green.

 

I surrounded circles with green. Yes! Love it! I also ran an orange line along the bottom, into that blue circle. I think that maybe helps, but that blue circle is still kind of overpowering the rest, and not cooperating with anyone else... What if I add another blue (half-) circle, cattycorner to it?

 

I think that helps. One thing that's going on now, that I like, is that the axis - the imaginary line - between the two blue circles accentuates the angle of the horse's head and stance.

Signed and dated... but I feel like there's still something else needed...

So, a title: how about A Kindness of Tendrils? Or maybe, A Kindness of Tendrils and Equinity?

 

Tech tip: do you want to see any of these larger? Click on the image to make it almost-full-browser-window size. (This is not the same as "full screen...")
