I was also very taken by your wonderfully moody take on the latest DSFDF; quite exquisite. I really like how you’ve set up your page to show both a close up and the full paintings.

You're all amazing painters, and it's so helpful to get your take on this one. I struggled so much with this one I can't "see" it anymore. Which I guess is what Karin was trying to get across in her post two weeks ago. :) Thanks so much for all of your comments.

I agree that your acrylic under toning was beautiful and possessed a lovely glow. A painting on it's own. I have painted past that point myself any times, so I know where you're coming from.

"Night" is definitely my favorite of the two. Yes it is busy but in a good way. It holds my interest, is dramatic and it doesn't bother me that there are three light sources (the window with the curtain open a crack is my focal point). I'm a firm believer in breaking the rules when the inspiration brings a vision forward. Love it! Lesley – Wonderful work, both pieces. “Night” is definitely my favorite of the two.

The painting is just amazing, and even more enlightening is that such a gifted painter can go through so much angst! Leslie, thank you so much for showing us your process.

For what it's worth, I really like your underpainting too. I also like your final piece. An interesting direction to go from the image posted. This was my first time participating in the DSFDF challenge. Great sky, and separately, i like the lights but I agree that they seem to competing for attention. Still, overall, great job from a fellow artist that doesn't know when to say when. Lesley, Thanks for sharing the journey. For what it’s worth, I really like your underpainting too.
