Good News!

 I got a little further on the painting, but not really any further on the foreground. Any suggestions? I'm not in love with the composition. How can I make it better? Then, needing something different I played around a bit:

So that was fun although not really more successful. At the very least it's certainly not finished. What does it need? However, despite my current frustrations, I got some REALLY good news today! I called the Lawrence Gallery, because I thought they had possibly sold this painting recently (it had been taken off of their website):

Imagine my surprise when I found out that it had sold ... as had these four as well!!! YAHOO!

The only disappointment is that we had forgotten to get a real picture of that last one. Bummer. I'm okay with it though, considering. I just have to remember next time. So glad to get good news!
