1:35 PM: this morning after our 5am trail walk, i was able to get to work early, albeit a little bleary eyed. i made more important tweaks to the painting in many different areas, such as the face of the central figure; details on the door panels and lamps, etc. as i look at it hanging on my east studio wall, it pops more, at the same time that certain details, which drew they eye too much, have integrated more into the whole composition.
