Okay, this painting took waaayy too much time. It went completely against my desire to work fast and loose.  It's really hard for me to paint this kind of subject in a really loose, impressionistic way. It's either worked too much or too little. And it's very hard to find the balance and know when to quit. So, I'll accept this as a challenge and a learning experience and throw it out there for the public to view. I don't think too many people are viewing at this point, so that's a consolation!
