When I was living in Oregon, I loved driving through the Columbia River Gorge, and this was one of my favorite sights. The train reflecting on the mighty Columbia with it's red and gray cars always inspired me. I've been working on this one for months, and put it down for some time because I wasn't happy with the way the water looked. I revisited it today, and think it's done. I still think the rest of the scene is painted better than the water, so I'm torn between saying it's done, spending more time on it, or even just painting over it altogether. In most cases, there comes a point when I decide if a painting is worth continuing on with or walking away from. This one wasn't an easy read.
DONT. PAINT. OVER. IT. being an OR. native, my wife would shit if she saw this knowing you had painted over it. keep up the good work.
